I'm sorry, but I'm currently unable to browse the internet. However, I can provide general information on how countries typically implement their export and trade policies. 1. Trade Agreements: Countries often enter into bilateral or multilateral trade agreements with other countries. These agreements can reduce tariffs, establish trade standards, and promote certain industries. 2. Export Controls: Governments often implement export controls to regulate what goods and services can be exported. This can be for reasons of national security, protecting domestic industries, or complying with international obligations. 3. Trade Promotion: Governments often have agencies dedicated to promoting trade and helping domestic businesses export their goods and services. These agencies can provide information, training, and financial assistance. 4. Trade Policy Review: Governments often review their trade policies to ensure they are effective and meeting their goals. This can involve consulting with businesses, industry groups, and the public. 5. Trade Dispute Resolution: Trade disputes can arise when one country believes another is not complying with a trade agreement. Countries often have mechanisms in place to resolve these disputes, which can involve negotiations, mediation, or arbitration. 6. Trade Sanctions: In some cases, governments may impose trade sanctions on other countries. This can be in response to human rights abuses, acts of aggression, or other actions that are contrary to international law. 7. Customs Procedures: Governments have customs procedures in place to regulate the import and export of goods. This can involve checking goods at the border, collecting tariffs, and enforcing trade laws. 8. Trade Adjustment Assistance: Governments often provide assistance to workers and businesses that are negatively affected by trade. This can include retraining programs, financial assistance, and other support measures.

The initiative is part of a broader effort to create a culture of lifelong learning and to prepare the workforce for the future economy. (Source: World Economic Forum) 4. Changes to the Singapore Work Pass Framework: In 2023, Singapore made changes to its work pass framework to attract and retain high-quality foreign talent. The new framework includes the introduction of the Tech.Pass, which allows tech professionals to start and operate businesses, be an investor, employee, consultant or director in Singapore-based companies, or lecture at local universities. This policy is aimed at bolstering Singapore's position as a global-Asia node of technology, innovation, and enterprise. (Source: ANZA) 5. Complementarity between Local and Foreign Workforce: The revised work pass framework also emphasizes the importance of complementarity between the local and foreign workforce. The government is taking measures to ensure that the foreign workforce supplements rather than substitutes the local workforce. This includes stricter qualifying criteria for Employment Pass (EP) and S Pass holders. (Source: ANZA)

The policy for Singapore is: 'After analyzing the provided links, here are the key policies related to knowledge workers in Singapore:\n\n1. Career Resilience and Upskilling/Reskilling Courses: As part of the 2023 budget, Singapore is implementing policies that focus on career resilience and upskilling/reskilling of its workforce. The government is funding courses that equip workers with industry-relevant skills, preparing them for the future economy. Emphasis is placed on lifelong learning and adaptability. (Source: MyCareersFuture)\n\n2. Job Skills Integrators (JSIs): To facilitate the upskilling/reskilling process, Singapore has introduced Job Skills Integrators. JSIs are professionals who provide career guidance and help individuals identify suitable training programs. They play a crucial role in the successful implementation of the government's upskilling and reskilling initiatives. (Source: MyCareersFuture)\n\n3.

Lifelong Learning for Workers: The Canadian government is committed to lifelong learning for workers, particularly those in the knowledge sector. They have implemented the Canada Job Grant, which provides up to $10,000 in government support per person for training costs. The employer is expected to contribute one-third of the total costs. This initiative is aimed at providing employees with the necessary skills for their current and future jobs. The government also offers the Lifelong Learning Plan, which allows individuals to withdraw amounts from their Registered Retirement Savings Plan to finance full-time training or education for themselves or their spouse. [Source: SHRM](https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/hr-topics/global-hr/pages/canada-lifelong-learning-for-workers.aspx)\n\n2. Canada's Tech Talent Strategy: In an effort to attract and retain top tech talent, the Canadian government has introduced the Global Talent Stream (GTS) program. This program provides innovative firms in Canada with faster access to highly skilled employees from around the world. The processing time for work permit applications is two weeks, which is significantly faster than the usual process. The program also requires companies to develop a Labour Market Benefits Plan, which outlines the company's commitment to activities that will have lasting, positive impacts on the Canadian labour market. [Source: Labour and Employment Law](https://www.labourandemploymentlaw.com/2023/07/canadas-first-ever-tech-talent-strategy/)\n \n3. Workforce Development Agreements: The Canadian government has also entered into agreements with each of the provinces and territories to deliver key employment and skills training programs. These Workforce Development Agreements (WDAs) help Canadians, including knowledge workers, to upgrade their skills, gain experience, or get help to start their own business. The WDAs also aim to help underrepresented groups, such as people with disabilities, Indigenous people, and women in trades, to access the training and services they need to find and keep good jobs. [Source: SHRM](https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/hr-topics/global-hr/pages/canada-lifelong-learning-for-workers.aspx)\n\n4. Promoting Digital Skills: The Canadian government is also investing in initiatives to help Canadians improve their digital skills. The CanCode program, for instance, provides coding and digital skills learning opportunities to students from kindergarten to grade 12, including underrepresented groups. The program also provides teachers with the tools needed to teach digital skills and coding.

As an AI text-based model, I'm unable to directly access or browse the internet, including the specific websites you provided. However, I can provide a general comparison and policy recommendations based on commonly known facts about Singapore's and Canada's approach to Gross Domestic Expenditure on R&D (GERD) financing. Singapore is known for its robust innovation ecosystem, supported by strong government policies and significant private sector investment. The country's GERD is largely financed by businesses, which shows a high level of industry involvement in R&D activities. This approach has several advantages: 1. It encourages a culture of innovation within the private sector. 2. It ensures that R&D activities are closely aligned with market needs. 3. It promotes collaboration between industry and academia. 4. It reduces dependence on public funding for R&D. 5. It stimulates economic growth and competitiveness. On the other hand, Canada has a well-developed R&D ecosystem, but it might lack some of the policies that have contributed to Singapore's success in business-financed GERD. Based on this comparison, here are five policy recommendations that could benefit Canada: 1. **Encourage Private Sector Investment**: Implement policies that incentivize businesses to invest in R&D, such as tax credits or grants. 2. **Promote Industry-Academia Collaboration**: Foster partnerships between universities and businesses to ensure that R&D activities are aligned with market needs. 3. **Support Start-ups and SMEs**: Provide financial and non-financial support to start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in R&D. 4. **Develop a Strong Intellectual Property (IP) Regime**: A robust IP regime can encourage innovation by ensuring that businesses can protect and profit from their R&D outcomes. 5. **Invest in Skills Development**: Equip the workforce with the necessary skills for R&D through education and training programs. Remember, these are general recommendations and the specific needs and circumstances of Canada's R&D ecosystem should be taken into account when developing policies.

GERD, or Gross Domestic Expenditure on Research and Development, is a vital indicator of a country's investment in innovation and technological advancement. In the United States, a significant portion of GERD is financed by businesses, which has led to a thriving innovation ecosystem. On the other hand, Canada's GERD is not as heavily financed by businesses, leading to potential gaps in innovation and progress. Advantages of American's Approach: 1. Increased Innovation: The US has a high level of private sector participation in R&D, which leads to more innovation and technological advancements. 2. Job Creation: R&D activities financed by businesses often lead to job creation in high-tech sectors. 3. Economic Growth: Business-financed R&D contributes to economic growth by developing new products and services that can be commercialized. 4. Global Competitiveness: The US's approach to GERD enhances its global competitiveness, as it allows for rapid technological advancements. 5. Self-Sustaining: Since businesses finance a significant portion of R&D, the US government doesn't need to allocate as much public funding to this area. Based on this comparison, here are five policy recommendations that could benefit Canada in enhancing its business-financed GERD: 1. Tax Incentives: Canada could offer more generous tax credits for businesses that invest in R&D. This could incentivize more private sector investment in innovation. 2. Public-Private Partnerships: The Canadian government could form partnerships with private businesses to jointly fund R&D projects. This could help share the risk and reward of innovation. 3. Innovation Clusters: Canada could encourage the creation of innovation clusters, where businesses, universities, and government entities collaborate on R&D. These clusters can spur innovation and economic growth. 4. Regulatory Reform: Canada could streamline its regulatory processes to make it easier for businesses to invest in R&D. This could include reducing red tape and speeding up approval processes for new technologies. 5. Investment in Education: Canada could invest more in STEM education to ensure a steady supply of skilled workers for its R&D sector. This could help attract businesses to invest in R&D in Canada.

Infoblatt: Stromverso rgungsgesetz (StromVG)
Am 22. September 2002 lehnten die Schweizer Stim mbürgerinnen und -bürger das Elektrizitätsmarkt-
gesetz (EMG) mit 52,5% Nein-Stimmen ab. In der Folge beauftragte der Bundesrat die Verwaltung,
eine neue Vorlage für die Öffnung des schweizerischen Strommarktes vorzubereiten. Von März 2003
bis Juni 2004 erarbeitete eine vom UVEK eingesetzte Expertenkommiss ion unter Leitung der Berner
Alt-Regierungsrätin Dori Schaer-Born einen neu en Gesetzesentwurf, der den Hauptgründen für die
Ablehnung des EMG ebenso Rechnung tragen sollte wie den drei wesentliche Rahmenbedingungen,
die sich seit der EMG-Abstimmung ergeben hatten: 1.) Der Bundesgericht sentscheid von Mitte 2003
im Fall Entreprises Electriques Fribourgeoises (EEF) gegen Watt/Migros (BGE 129 II 497), in welchem die faktische Marktöffnung auf Basis des Kartellgeset zes verfügt wurde. 2.) Da s weitere Fortschreiten
der Liberalisierung in der Europäischen Union, de ren Strommärkte seit 1. Juli 2007 vollständig geöff-
net sind. 3.) Der Stromausfall vom 28. September 2003 in Italien.
Der Bundesrat verabschiedete die Botschaft zum Bundesgesetz über die Stromversorgung (StromVG)
und zur Revision des Elektrizitätsgesetzes (EleG) am 3. Dezember 2004. Die eidgenössischen Räte
stimmten der Vorlage in der Schlussabstimmung vom 23. März 2007 deutlich zu (Annahme im Natio-nalrat mit 166:27 Stimmen und im Ständerat mit 41: 0 Stimmen bei 1 Enthaltung). Die Referendums-
frist lief am 12. Juli 2007 unbenutzt ab.
Das vom Parlament verabschiedete Gesetz sieht eine zweistufige Marktöffnung vor: In den ersten fünf
Jahren (2009-2013) haben Endverbraucher mit einem Jahresverbrauch von mehr als 100'000 kWh
freien Marktzugang. Nach fünf Jahren können dan n auch Haushalte und andere Kleinverbraucher
ihren Stromlieferanten frei wählen. Die Einführ ung der vollen Marktöffnung erfolgt per Bundesbe-
schluss, der einem fakultativen Referendum unt ersteht. Das Höchstspannungsnetz muss von einer
nationalen Netzgesellschaft (swissgrid) mit Schw eizer Mehrheitsbeteiligung betrieben werden. Fünf
Jahre nach Inkrafttreten des Ge setzes muss auch das Eigentum an den Höchstspann ungsnetzen an
diese Netzgesellschaft übergehen.
Zusammen mit dem Stromversorgungsgesetz wurde mi t der Revision des Energiegesetzes auch ein
Paket von Massnahmen zur Förderung der erneuerbar en Energien sowie zur Förderung der Effizienz
im Elektrizitätsbereich. Hauptpfeiler ist dabei die kostendeckende Einspeisevergütung für Strom aus
erneuerbaren Energien. Das revidierte Energiege setz schreibt vor, dass die Stromerzeugung aus
erneuerbaren Energien bis zum Jahr 2030 um mi ndestens 5,4 Milliarden Kilowattstunden erhöht wer-
den muss. Das entspricht rund 10% des heutigen St romverbrauchs (2008: 58,7 Milliarden Kilowatt-
stunden).
Die im Herbst 2008 angekündigten Strompreiser höhungen führten in Wirtsc haft, Politik und Öffentlich-
keit zu teils heftigen Reaktionen. Bundesrat Moritz Leuenberger führte dazu im Oktober 2008 eine
Aussprache mit Vertretern der Stromwirtschaft sowie der Kantone und Gemeinden durch. Aufgrund
der Ergebnisse wurde eine Vorlage zur Revision der Stromversorgungsverordnung erarbeitet, die der Bundesrat am 5. Dezember 2008 verabschiedete. Di e Revision beschränkte sich auf wenige Punkte,
vor allem auf die Netzkosten und die Kosten für di e Systemdienstleistungen (Reserveenergie). Wei-
tergehende Anpassungen der gesetzlichen Grundlagen wollte der Bundesrat erst nach Auswertung
der ersten praktischen Erfahrungen mit der neuen Marktordnung in Angriff nehmen. Zudem wollte er
die Untersuchungen und die ersten Entscheide der Elektrizitätskommission nicht behindern.

Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Zusammenfassung
EnergieSchweiz ist die zentrale Plattform des Bundes für Sensibilisierung, Information, Beratung,
Aus- und Weiterbildung sowie für die Qualitätssicherung in den Themengebieten Energieeffizienz
und erneuerbare Energien. EnergieSchweiz ist ein integraler Bestandteil des Massnahmenmix der
Schweizer Energiepolitik. Dabei orientiert sich das Programm an den im Energiegesetz festgelegten
Zielvo rgaben für den Energie - und den Stromverbrauch sowie der Stromproduktion aus erneuerba-
ren Energien. Das Programm verstärkt und ergänzt mittels freiwillige r Massnahmen die Wirkungen
der anderen Fördermassnahmen. EnergieSchweiz zielt vor allem auf den Abbau nicht preislicher
Hemmnisse und entsprechender Transaktionskosten, die der Realisierung von Effizienzmassnah-
men und der Ausschöpfung des Potenzials an erneuerbaren Energien entgegenstehen.
Die Programmstrategie EnergieSchweiz 2021 –2030 baut auf dem vom Bun desrat im Jahr 2018
verabschiedeten strategische n Auftrag EnergieSchweiz 2021 –2030 auf und konkretisiert diesen.
Folglich dient die vorliegende Programmstrategie den Programmverantwortlichen und den Projekt-
begleitenden als Orientierung bei der Bestimmung d er konkreten Massnahmen und der Ressour-
cenallokation sowie den internen und externen Stakeholdern als Basis für ein gemeinsames Ver-
ständnis der Ausrichtung von EnergieSchweiz.
Die bisherigen Schwerpunkte von EnergieSchweiz werden durch prioritäre Handlungs felder ersetzt.
Dies entspricht den aktuellen Bedürfnissen bezüglich Flexibilität und Priorisierung von Energie-
Schweiz. Die drei prioritären Handlungsfelder sind:
G: Gebäudeeffizienz und erneuerbare Energien für private Haushalte (vgl. Kapitel 3)
M: Mobilität von privaten Haushalten und Unternehmen (vgl. Kapitel 4)
A: Anlagen und Pro zesse in Industrie und Dienstleistungen ( vgl. Kapitel 5)
Diese drei Handlungsfelder sind verantwortlich für total 74 Prozent des Endenergieverbrauchs der
Schweiz. Entsprechend sollen für Massnahmen in diesen drei Handlungsfeldern mindestens drei
Viertel des Gesamtbudgets von EnergieSchweiz eingesetzt werden .
Die prioritären Handlungsfelder werden durch weitere Handlungsfelder , u.a. Grossanlagen für er-
neuerbare Energie und Netze und Speicher ergänzt . Die Handlungsfelder werden durch Quer-
schnittsthemen unterstützt . Diese umfassen die Aus- und Weiterbildung, Städte , Gemeinden, Quar-
tiere und Regionen, Kommunikation, Zusammenarbeit mit dem Klimaprogramm des BAFU , Digita-
lisierung sowie Innovation . Die Querschnittsthemen sind zentral, um die prioritären Handlungsfelder
zu adressieren . 4

Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Einleitung
1.1 Ausgangslage
Das Aktionsprogramm EnergieSchweiz basiert auf seinem Vorgänger Energie 2000 und wurde vom
Bundesrat im Jahr 2001 eingeführt. Es stützt sich auf den Verfassungsauftrag im Energie - und
Klimabereich (Art. 73, 74 und 89 der Bundesverfassung, SR 101) und das Energiegesetz (Art. 2, 3,
47, 48 und 50, SR 730.0 ). Entsprechend ist das Ziel von EnergieSchweiz, die Energieeffizienz und
den Anteil der erneuerbare n Energien in der Schweiz zu erhöhen.
In der Phase von 2011 –2020 hat sich EnergieSchweiz Ziele und Massnahmen in acht Schwerpunkten
gesetzt. Im Jahr 2012 verstärkte der Bundesrat im Rahmen des ersten Massnahmenpakets zur Um-
setzung der Energiestrategie 205 0 das Programm EnergieSchweiz und definierte dieses als integralen
Bestandteil der Energiestrategie 2050 . Dabei wurde das Budget auf 55 Millionen Franken erhöht und
Massnahmen namentlich in den Themengebieten energieeffiziente und emissionsarme Mobilität,
elektrische Geräte und Motoren, Industr ie und Dienstleistungen, Städte und Gemeinden sowie Aus -
und Weiterbildung verstärkt . Für die Phase 2021 –2030 wurde vom Bundesrat eine inhaltliche Fokus-
sierung sowie eine Reduktion des Budgets (derzeit bei 44 Millionen Franken) vorgegeben .
EnergieSchweiz is t die zentrale Plattform des Bundes für Sensibilisierung, Information, Beratung,
Aus- und Weiterbildung sowie die Qualitätssicherung in den Themengebieten Energieeffizienz und
erneuerbare Ene rgien. Das Programm hat Angebote wie Minergie, 2000 Watt -Areale, Energie-
städte, Zielvereinbarungen für die Wirtschaft oder Mobility CarSharing mitentwickelt. Es verstärkt
mit freiwilligen Massnahmen die Wirkung der regulativen Massnahmen und der anderen Fö rder-
massnahmen. Es zielt vor allem auf den Abbau der Hemmnisse, die der Ausschöpfung von Ener-
gieeffizienzmassnahmen und des Potenzial s an erneue rbaren Energien entgegenstehen. Energie-
Schweiz ist ein partnerschaftliches Programm und arbeitet eng zusammen mi t Kantonen, Städten,
Gemeinden und Partnern aus der Wirtschaft, Umwelt - und Konsumentenorganisationen sowie pri-
vatwirtschaftlichen Agenturen.
Der Energielandschaft der Schweiz stehen bedeutende Veränderungen auf energietechnischer und
politischer Ebene bev or, welche neue Möglichkeiten und Anforderungen im Energiemarkt mit sich
bringen. Die Schweiz hat sich im Rahmen des Pariser Klimaübereinkommens verpflichtet, bis 2030
ihren Treibhausgasausstoss gegenüber dem Stand von 1990 zu halbieren. Aufgrund der neuen
wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse des Weltklimarates hat der Bundesrat im August 2019 entschie-
den, dieses Ziel zu verschärfen: Ab dem Jahr 2050 soll die Schweiz unter dem Strich keine Treib-
hausgasemissionen mehr ausstossen. Die fortschreitende Elektrifizier ung, die Substitution von fos-
silen Treib - und Brennstoffen im Verkehr und in der Wärmeproduktion bewirken eine Dekarbonisie-
rung des Energieverbrauchs. Erneuerbare Energien werden dank Kostensenkungen zu relevanten
Alternativen für fossile Energieträger . Durch technische Innovationen verschwimmen die Grenzen
zwischen Energiekonsumenten und -produzenten immer mehr, was neue Akteure wie Eigenver-
brauchsgemeinschaften schafft. Gleichzeitig benötigen zum Beispiel die Nutzung von Blockchains
und des Internet of Th ings für Datenspeicher, Sensoren und weitere Komponenten Energie für Pro-
duktion und Betrieb und führen damit zu einem Mehrverbrauch an elektrischer Energie. 7
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Standardisie rten Massnahmen, abgeleitet aus den Gesetzen, geling t es immer weniger , die Dyna-
mik und K leinräumigkeit der Gesellschaft zu adressieren, die sich als Folge des Individualismus
bilden . Nachhaltige Lösungen werden immer seltener von einer zentralen Aut orität angeordnet, son-
dern partnerschaft lich entwickelt und finanziert im Rah men von Public Private Partnerships . Die
Massnahmen von EnergieSchweiz können rasch auf diese Marktdynamiken reagieren, reduzieren
den Regulierungsbedarf und haben aufgrund ihrer Neutralität und Freiwilligkeit eine hohe Glaub-
würdigkeit bei Unternehmen, Pri vaten und der öffentlichen Hand.
1.2 Zweck der Programmstrategie
Die vorliegende Programmstrategie ist die Ko nkretisierung des vom Bundesrat im Dezember 2018
verabschiedeten strategischen Auftrag s «EnergieSchweiz 2021 bis 2030 ». Sie dient den Pro-
grammverantw ortlichen und den Projektbegleitenden als Orientierung zur Bestimmung der konkre-
ten Mass nahmen und Ressourcenallokation sowie internen und externen Stakeholdern als Basis
für ein gemeinsames Verständnis der Ausrichtung von EnergieSchweiz. Die Programmstrat egie
EnergieSchweiz 2021 –2030 wird regelmässig überprüft . Gegebenenfalls werden Anpassungen vor-
genommen, welche durch die Geschäftsleitung des Bundesamts für Energie ( BFE) beantragt und
durch das Generalsekretariat (GS) des UVEK zur Umsetzung freigegeben werden . Die Pro gramm-
strategie und die grösseren Änderungen werden zudem den externen Stakeholdern zur Konsulta-
tion unterbreitet.
1.3 Gliederung
In Kapitel 2 werden die groben Züge der Strategie von EnergieSchweiz für die Periode von 2021 –
2030 dargestellt. In den darauffolgenden drei Kapiteln werden die drei prioritären Handlungsfelder
beleuchtet: Kapitel 3 beschäftigt sich mit den Gebäuden und erneuerbaren Energien in privaten
Haushalten, Kapitel 4 mit der Mobilität von Privaten und Unternehmen und Kapitel 5 mit den Anlagen
und Prozessen in Industrie und Dienstleistungen. Anschliessend stellen Kapitel 6 weitere Hand-
lungsfelder für Massnahmen und Kapitel 7 einige Querschnittsthemen dar. In Kapitel 8 wird das
Thema Kommunikation diskutiert. Kapitel 10 beschreibt die Zusammenarbeit mit Partnern , Kapitel
10 bildet den Anhang und gleichzeitig den Abschluss d ieses Dokuments.
1.4 Prozesse zur Definition der prioritären Handlungsfelder:
Erstellung Produktstrategie und Ressourcenallokation
Die prioritären Handlungsfelder wurden in einem standardisierten Prozess definiert, einer soge-
nannten Umfeldanalyse.
Die Priorisierung der Handlungsfelder wird durch das BFE erstellt und durch das UVEK unter Beizug
der Strategiegruppe freigegeben. Die möglichen Handlungsfelder werden durch die Massnahmen der
Energiestrategie 2050 und die Zielgruppen bestehend aus Private n, Unternehmen und der öffentlichen
Hand in einer Matrix aufgespannt. 8
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Um die prioritären Handlungsfelder zu bestimmen , werden die 21 Handlungsfelder bezüglich ihrem
Potenzial für freiwillige Massnahmen (im Hinblick auf Energieeffizienz und erneuerbare Ene rgien) be-
wertet. Da einzelne Handlungsfelder einen starken Zusammenhang mit anderen Handlungsfeldern
haben, werden diese zu prioritären Handlungsfeldern zusammengeschlossen. So bestehen die für
2021 priorisierten Handlungsfelder (Mobilität, Gebäude und ern euerbare Energien und Anlagen und
Prozesse) aus jeweils zwei Handlungsfeldern.
Tabelle 1: Prioritäre Handlungsfelder EnergieSchweiz 2021 –2030 nach Massnahmen der Energiestrategie
2050 (Botschaft vom 4. September 2013, BBl 2013 75 61) und nach Zielgruppen Private, Unternehmen sowie
öffentliche Hand.
Massnahmen Energiestrategie 2050 Zielgruppen
Private Unternehmen Öffentliche Hand
Energieeffizienz Gebäude
Energieeffizienz Industrie und Dienstleistungen
Energieeffizienz Mobilität
Energieeffizienz Elektrogeräte
Energieeffizienz Stromlieferanten
Erneuerbare Energien
Diverse (WKK, Netze usw.)
Entsprechend der Fokussierung auf die drei prioritären Handlungsfelder werden die Ressourcen
zugeteilt und die spezifischen Zielgruppen individuell angesprochen.
Die Beurteilung der Prioritäten wurde intern wie extern vorgenommen . Dazu wurden eine Onlineum-
frage und Experteninterviews durchgeführt, sowie Beratungen in der EnergieSchweiz Strategie-
gruppe, der Geschäftsleitung BFE und mit den Schwerpunktverantwortliche n von EnergieSchweiz
geführt . Insgesamt waren die Prioritäten eindeutig.
Da einzelne Handlungsfelder einen starken Zusammenhang mit anderen Handlungsfeldern haben,
werden diese zu prioritären Hand lungsfeldern zusammengeschlossen (vgl. Kap 2.2).
Neben den prioritären Handlungsfelder n bestehen weitere relevan te Handlungsfelder mit tieferer
Priorität. EnergieSchwe iz kann auf Grund ihres allgemeinen Auftrages und einer politischen Ausge-
wogenheit nicht ganze Themenfelder ausschliessen , für den Fall, dass ihnen eine Relevanz im Rah-
men des Auftrages von EnergieSchweiz zukommt.
Für die priori tären Handlungsfelder werde n mindestens 75 Prozent und für die weiteren Handlungs-
felder bis zu 20 Prozent der Ressourcen alloziert. Rund 5 Prozent der Ressourcen werden für Scou-
ting und Akquisition innovativer Umsetzungen und Partner aufgewendet. Dadurch soll sichergestellt
werden, dass Partner und Projekte mit dem grössten Nutzen für die Energie strategie 2050 unter-
stützt und um gesetzt werden.
Jährlich wird die Ressourcenallokation an der Programmle iterkonferenz auf Projektebene im Rah-
men der strategischen Vorgaben konkretisiert und die operative Umsetzung durch Projekte geplant . 9
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Eckpfeiler EnergieSchweiz 2021 –2030
2.1 Ziele
Energie Schweiz ist ein integraler Bestandteil des Massnahmenmix der Schweizer Energiepolitik.
Das Programm verstärkt und ergänzt mittels freiwilligen Massnahmen in den Themengebieten Ener-
gieeffizienz und erneuerbaren Energien die Wirkungen der anderen Fördermassna hmen. Es trägt
dazu bei, dass die Schweizer Bevölkerung, die Unternehmen und die öffentliche Hand über die
nötigen Kompetenzen verfügen und sich engagieren, alle relev anten Potenz iale in den Themenge-
bieten der Energieeffizienz und erneuerbaren Energien aus zuschöpfen. Das Programm sensibili-
siert, informiert und berät neutral und produkteunabhängig Private, Unternehmen und die öffentliche
Hand zu Energiethemen, fördert innovative Projekte und unterstützt die Aus - und Weiterbildung der
benötigten Fachkräfte so wie die Qualitätssicherung der eingesetzten Technologien. Energie-
Schweiz vernetzt die Akteure und fördert den Wissenstransfer. Über die Projektförderung unterstützt
EnergieSchweiz die Verbreitung von neuen Technologien. Es trägt dazu bei, dass Neues marktfähig
wird, Fuss fassen kann und Sichtbarkeit erlangt.
EnergieSchweiz zielt vor allem auf den Abbau nicht preislicher Hemmnisse und entsprechender
Transaktionskosten, die der Realisierung von Effizienzmassnahmen und der Ausschöpfung des Po-
tenzials an erneuerbaren Energien entgegenstehen. Als Plattform setzt das Programm sämtliche
unterstützenden Massnahmen unter einem Dach um und macht Synergien nutzbar. Dadurch wer-
den Doppelspurigkeiten vermieden. Es trägt zur marktkonfo rmen Einführung und Verbreitung neuer
Technologien und innovativer Anwendungen sowie zur Schaffung nachhaltiger Arbeitsplätze in die-
sen Bereichen bei. Projekte, die von EnergieSchweiz unterstützt werden, sollen sich langfristig auf
dem Markt etablieren, we shalb die Finanzierung zeitlich befristet ist. Gegebenenfalls werden spezi-
fische Absenkpfade für die Finanzierung definiert.
Das Aktionsprogramm EnergieSchweiz soll die Wirkung der regulativen Massnahmen, der Förder-
massnahmen und der marktwirtschaftlichen Massnahmen möglichst effektiv und effizient verstär-
ken. Damit soll ein wesentlicher Beitrag zur Zielerreichung in den Themengebieten Energieeffizienz
und erneuerbare Energien der Energiestrategie 2050 geleistet werden. Durch die Stärkung der frei-
willigen M assnahmen soll der künftige Regulierungsbedarf so gering wie nötig gehalten werden.
EnergieSchweiz definiert keine neuen Energie - oder Klimaziele. Für die Massnahmen in den einzel-
nen Handlungsfeldern sind jedoch Ziele zur Orientierung sehr wichtig. Diese Z iele sind aus der
Energiestrategie, dem CO 2-Gesetz oder deren Grundlagen hergeleitet, wie z.B. aus der Botschaft
und den Energieperspektiven, veröffentlichten Leitfäden , Visionen sowie Roadmaps.
Konkret soll der Energieverbrauch pro Person und Jahr gegenü ber dem Stand im Jahr 2000 bis
zum Jahr 2035 um 43 Proze nt und der Stromverbrauch um 13 Prozent gesenkt werden. Die
durchschnittliche inländische Produktion von Elektrizität im Jahr 2035 soll für erneuerbare Ener-
gien, ohne Wasserkraft, bei mindestens 11 400 GWh liegen, während es bei der Wasserk raft
mindestens 37 400 GWh sein sollen. Im August 2019 hat der Bundesrat entschieden, dass die
Schweiz bis 2050 das Ziel verfolgt, die CO 2-Emissionen insgesamt auf Null zu reduzieren. Bereits
2013 hatte sich der Bu ndesrat zum Ziel gesetzt, die jährlichen CO 2-Emissionen aus dem fossilen 10
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Energieverbrauch bis 2050 auf 1 bis 1.5 Tonnen pro Kopf zu senken (vgl. Botschaft vom 4. Sep-
tember 2013 zum ersten Massnahmenpaket der Energiestrategie 2050, BBI 2013 7561, Ziff. 2.1,
2.3.1 und 2.5.1).
Die formulierten Ziele in der Programmstrategie haben keinen politischen Anspruch und stellen kei-
nen neuen Vorgaben dar, sondern dienen einzig der Orientierung des Programms EnergieSchweiz.
2.2 SWOT -Analyse
Im Rahmen der strategischen Vorbe reitungsarbeiten für die vorliegende Programmstrategie wurde
eine umfassende SWOT -Analyse für EnergieSchweiz erstellt.
Die wichtigsten Stärken von EnergieSchweiz sind:
hohe Vertrauenswürdigkeit: Neutralität, Fachkompetenz, Freiwilligkeit , Absender Bund
flächendeckendes Netzwerk (aktuell ca. 450 Partner)
klare gesetzliche Grundlage und Bestätigung durch den Bundesrat
hohe Flexibilität und Individualität im Vergleich zu Verordnungen
Relevanz de r Themen Energie und Klima
hohe Innovationskraft im Vergleich zur öffentlichen Hand
Die wichtigsten Schwächen von EnergieSchweiz sind:
politische Exposition (aktive Gegner der Energiestrategie) und Konjunktur
Die Them en Energie und Klima werden als stark ideologisiert wa hrgenommen .
Planungssicherheit Budgetverfügbarkeit
Umgang mit Tabuthemen wie Ernährung, Flugverkehr
Direkter Wirkungsnachweis (k Wh) nicht eindeutig herleitbar, da verschiedene externe Faktoren
auf die Ziele der Energiestrategie wirken.
Die wichtigsten Chancen von Energie Schweiz sind:
zunehmende Dynamik in Energietechnologie und Digitalisierung
zunehmende Relevanz der Energie - und Klima themen für Politik und Bevölkerung
Bestehende Lösungen , welche sich auf dem Markt noch zu wenig durchgesetzt haben .
Integration des Themas Klima dort, wo Energie aspekte relevant sind.
wachsender Bedarf bei der Aus- und Weiterbildung
Die wichtigsten Gefahren für EnergieSchweiz
Widerstand der «alten» Technologien
Verlust Vertrauens basis bei Zielgruppen und Partnern
nicht adäquates Controlling wegen Ressourcen engpass und ex ternen Anforderungen
weitere Reduktion der Finanzmittel und Personal ressourcen 11
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
2.3 Strategie
Die bisherigen Schwerpunkte von EnergieSchweiz werden durch prioritäre Handlungsfelder ersetzt .
Dies entspricht den aktuellen Bedürfnissen bezüglich Flexibilität und Repriorisierung von Energie-
Schweiz. Die prioritären Handlungsfelder wurden in einem standardisierten Prozess definiert, einer
sogenannten Umfeldanalyse (vgl. Kapitel 1.4).
Tabelle 2: Prioritäre Handlungsfelder EnergieSchweiz 2021 –2030 nach Massnahmen der Energiestrategie
2050 (Botschaft vom 4. September 2013, BBl 2013 7561) und nach den Zielgruppen Private, Unternehmen
sowie öffentliche Hand. Die Prozentzahlen in Klammern stellen den anteiligen Energieverbrauch des Hand-
lungsfeldes dar.
Massnahmen Energiestrategie 2050 Zielgruppen
Private Unternehmen Öffentliche Hand
Energieeffizienz Gebäude G (23 %)
Energieeffizienz Industrie und Dienstleistungen A (8 %)
Energieeffizienz Mobilität M (21 %) M (13 %)
Energieeffizienz Elektrogeräte A (9 %)
Energieeffizienz Stromlieferanten
Erneuerbare Energien G
Diverse (WKK, Netze usw.)
Daraus entstanden sind die drei folgenden prioritären Handlungsfelder:
G: Gebäudeeffizienz und erneuerbare Energien für priv ate Haushalte (vgl. Kapitel 3)
M: Mobilität von privaten Haushalten und Unt ernehmen (vgl. Kapitel 4)
A: Anlagen und Prozesse in Industr ie und Dienstleistungen (vgl. Kapitel 5).
Diese drei Handlungsfelder sind verantwortlich für total 74 Prozent des Endenergieverbrauchs der
Schweiz. Entsprechend solle n für Massnahmen in diesen drei Handlungsfeldern mindestens drei
Viertel des Gesamtbudgets von EnergieSchweiz eingesetzt werden. In allen drei Handlungsfeldern
bestehen grosse Energieeffizienz - und Energieproduktionspotenziale . Im Handlungsfeld Mobilität
liegen diese Potenzial e unter anderem beim Kaufverhalten und der Wahl eines effizienteren Fahr-
zeugs. Dabei betragen die Effizienz potenzial e insgesamt über 50 Prozent. Im Handlungsfeld Ge-
bäude liegen die Potenzial e unter anderem in der gemeinsamen Betrachtun g von Effizienz und Pro-
duktion. Bei Gebäudesanierungen beträgt das Effizienz potenzial bis zu 50 Prozent. Im Handlungs-
feld Anlagen und Prozessen liegen die Potenzial e in der Infrastruktur, inklusive der Informations -
und Kommunikationstechnologie und den Prozessanlagen , z.B. elektrische n Antriebssysteme n.
Hier beträgt das Effizienz potenzial 20 bis 30 Prozent. Folglich können Massnahmen in diesen drei
Handlungsfeldern bedeutende Wirkungen entfalten.
Als Ergänzung zu diesen zentralen Handlungsfeldern werden einige zusätzliche Massnahmenbe-
reiche sowie das Querschnittsthema Innovation in zweiter Priorität mit rund einem Viertel des Bud-
gets bearbeitet (vgl. Kapitel 6). Die f inanziellen Ressourcen (vgl. Kapitel 1.1) sind in ein Beschaf-
fungsbudget und in ein Subventionsbudget aufgeteilt. Es wird dabei weiterhin angestrebt, möglichst
viel des Gesamt budgets als Subvention einzusetzen. Der Vorteil der Subvention ist, dass 60 Prozent
oder mehr der finanziellen Mittel und der grösste Teil der Personalressourcen vom Markt getragen
werden , was g leichzeitig bestätigt, dass das Projekt einem Marktbedürfnis entspricht. 12
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Die Querschnitts themen Städte , Gemeinden , Areale und Regionen, Aus - und Weiterbildung , Kom-
munikation und Digitalisierung sind Teil der Umsetzung in den prioritären und weiteren Handlungs-
felder n. Sie stellen sicher, dass die Infor mationen an die gewünschten Zielgruppen gelangen, die
notwendigen Rahmenbedingungen geschaffen und die Fachkräfte ausgebildet werden.
Dank der Fokussierung auf diese drei prioritären Handlungsfelder kann EnergieSchweiz rascher auf
Entwicklungen reagieren , die aufgrund der erhöhten Dynamik im Energiemarkt bestehen, ausgelöst
beispielsweise durch die Digitalisierung. EnergieSchweiz wird damit zukünftig über eine flexiblere
Programms trategie anstatt über ein auf zehn Jahre ausgelegtes Detailkonzept geführt. Für diese
Flexibilität und Agilität soll sich das Programm durch eine gewisse inhaltliche Offenheit auszeichnen.
Zudem sollen finanzielle Freiheiten für neue Entwicklungen und Innovationen sichergestellt werden.
Generell verfolgt EnergieSchweiz die Strateg ie einer noch wirksameren Unterstützung der regulati-
ven Massnahmen, der Fördermassnahmen sowie der marktwirtschaftlichen Massnahmen. Zu letz-
teren gehören die CO 2-Abgaben und das Emissionshandelssystem. Erreicht werden soll die erhöhte
Wirksamkeit durch gez ielte begleitende Massnahmen, wie Sensibilisierung, Information, Beratung,
Aus- und Weiterbi ldung sowie Qualitätssicherung. Um eine Wirkung zu erreichen, wird dabei immer
eine Verhaltensänderung angestrebt, analog zu den regulativen Massnahmen . Im Falle von Ener-
gieSchweiz ist das eine freiwillige Änderung. Das Verhalten wird dabei in zwei Gruppen eingeteilt:
einmalige Entscheid ungs situation (selten, z.B. ein Heizungsersatz)
wiederholtes, bis zu tägliche m Verhalten (oft, z.B. die Wahl der Mobilitätsform)
Bei der verhaltensorientierten Information wird verstärkt darauf geachtet, dass nicht nur ein be-
stimmtes Verhalten angepriesen wird (z.B. erneuerbar es Heizen) , sondern auch die Hemmnisse
gegenüber diesem Verhalten (z.B. Komplexität des Problems ) behoben wer den (z.B. durch neutrale
Beratung). Damit wird für die entsprechende Zielgruppe eine neue Verhal tensoption geschaffen, die
aufgrund des Nutzens und nicht wegen eines schlechten Gewissens freiwillig gewählt werden kann.
Dies bedarf einer vorgängigen intensi ven Auseinandersetzung mit der jeweiligen Zielgruppe.
13
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Bei den weiteren Handlungsfelde rn von EnergieSchweiz steht insbesondere die Innovation im Vor-
dergrund. Viele der notwendigen Technologien und Prozesse zur Umsetzung der Energiestrategie
sind verfügbar , stehen aber in Konkurrenz zu etablierten Technologien und finden ihren Weg in den
Markt nur sehr zögerlich. Ziel ist es, den Prozess zur Verankerung und «Industrialisierung» von
Innovationen in den Themengebieten Energieeffizienz und erneuerbare Energie im Markt zu be-
schleunigen. Die dazu notwen digen Massnahmen wie Scouting, Wettbewerb, Kommunikation, ge-
zielte Unterstützung und Risikoabschätzung werden verstärkt. Neu wird ein Teil des Budgets für die
Erkennung von innovativen Ansätzen und neuen Themen im Markt verwendet.
EnergieSchweiz will verstärkt vernetzte Lösungen anstreben, da d ie verschiedenen Handlungsfel-
der von EnergieSchweiz nicht isoliert adressiert werden können . Produktion, Transport und Nutzung
von Energie können nur dann besonders effizient realisiert werden, wenn die einzelnen Technolo-
gien aufeinander abgestimmt werden. Aufgrund dieses systemischen Ansatzes können einzelne
Projekte nicht immer trennscharf ein em Handlungsfeld zugeordnet werden. Sie müssen ganzheitli-
cher und stärker vernetzt mit anderen Themen bearbeitet werden , z.B. mit Gesundheit oder Sicher-
heit. Zudem ist es aufgrund möglicher technologischer und wirtschaftlicher Entwicklungen notwen-
dig, die Prioritäten periodisch zu überprüfen und gegebenenfalls anzupassen.
Die Zusammenarbeit mit Partnern von EnergieSchweiz soll verstärkt werden. Dabei sollen me hr
relevante Partner involviert und die Zusammenarbeit flexibilisiert werden. Die bisherige, enge Z u-
sammenarbeit mit Kantonen, Städten, Gemeinden Quartieren und Regionen wird fortgeführt. Als
nationales Programm schafft EnergieSchweiz Synergien und entlastet die anderen Staatsebenen
bei der Erarbeitung ähnlicher Aktivitäten. Aus - und Weiterbildungsangeb ote, Informations - und Be-
ratungsaktivitäten sowie innovative Konzepte und Projekte von EnergieSchweiz unterstützen deren
Energiepolitik. Um die Synergien mit Kantone , Städten und Gemeinden optimal zu nutzen, sind
diese unter anderem auch in der Strategiegr uppe EnergieSchweiz vertreten.
Weiter soll die interne Zusammenarbeit mit der Energieforschung und dem Pilot-, Demonstrations -
und Leuchtturm - (P+D+L ) Programm optimiert werden , indem aktiv Projekte in EnergieSchweiz
überführt werden . Auch die Zusammenarb eit mit den Verbänden der Wirtschaft sowie anderen Bun-
desämtern, z.B. dem Bundesamt für Umwelt ( BAFU ) und dem Bundesamt für Strassen ( ASTRA ),
soll vertieft werden. Beispielsweise werden mit dem BAFU Klimaschutzthemen bzgl. des CO 2-Ge-
setzes bestimmt und nac h Möglichkeit im Programm EnergieSchweiz integriert. Rund drei Viertel
der Treibhausgasemissionen sind auf den Ausstoss von CO 2 durch die Verbrennung von fossilen
Energien zurückzuführen. Die Reduktion der CO 2-Emissionen aus fossilen Brenn - und Treibstoffe n
überschneidet sich folglich stark mit der Erhöhung der Energieeffizienz und der Förderung von er-
neuerbaren Energien.
Die vom Bundesrat beschlossenen nahtlose Fortführung des Programms bis 2030 stellt ein wichti-
ges Element der Umsetzung der Energiestrate gie 2050 dar. Mittels freiwilliger Massnahmen wird
das Programm dazu beitragen, den künftigen Regulierungsbedarf tief zu halten. Die Wirkung des
Gesamtprogramms sowie einzelner Massnahmen soll wie in den Vorperioden regelmässig durch
unabhängige Stellen ev aluiert werden. 14
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Gebäude und erneuerbare Energien in privaten
Haushalten
Rund die Hälfte der beheizten Gebäudefläche liegt in privaten Händen. Prioritär sind die Investoren
(Wohneigentümer, Vermietende) zu nennen , da sie mit ihren Entscheiden massge bend sind, wie
ein Haus energetisch ausgerüstet und betrieben wird. Wohneigentümer sind eine breite und grosse
Zielgruppe, die für die Argumente von EnergieSchweiz empfänglich ist, da ihr Eigenheim einen ho-
hen Stellenwert geniesst. Vermietende sind als Zielgru ppe kleiner und können gleichzeitig auf meh-
rere Gebäude Einfluss nehmen. Sie sind jedoch aufgrund des geringen direkten Nutzens schwieri-
ger für energetische Massnahmen zu gewinnen. Den Mietenden kommt eine sekundäre Rolle zu.
Sie können vor allem bezüglich Betriebs - und Nutzerverhalten beeinflusst werden.
3.1 Ausgangslage
3.1.1 Energieverbrauch
Der Gebäudepark besteht insgesamt aus rund 1 800 000 beheizten Gebäuden mit einer Fläche von
gesamthaft 800 Millionen m2. Davon sind 500 000 Mehrfamilienhäuser (350 Millionen m2 – wovon
70 % in Privatbesitz), 1 000 000 Einfamilienhäuser (160 Millionen m2), zudem Verwaltungsgebäude
und Büros (60 Millionen m2), Geschäftshäuser (40 Millionen m2) sowie Industriebauten und Lager-
hallen (80 Millionen m2).
Der Gebäudepark verbraucht pro Jahr etwa 100 TWh oder rund 45 Prozent des Endenergiebedarfs
der Schweiz. Rund 66 TWh entfallen auf die Raumwärme , wovon mehr als 40 Prozent durch Heizöl
gedeckt werden , gefolgt von Erdgas mit einem Anteil von 27 Prozent . Holz liefert 11 Prozent, Elekt-
rizität 8 Prozent, Umweltwärme (inklusive Solarthermie) sowie Fernwärme je 6 Prozent .
In Wohngebäuden werden rund 24 Prozent des gesamten Endenergieverbrauchs der Schweiz be-
nötigt (Prognos, INFRAS TEP 2018). Davon wird der weitaus grösste Anteil (etwa s über 80 %) für
Raumwärme verwendet. Heizöl deckt knapp 45 Prozent, Erdgas rund 25 Prozent, und die erneuer-
baren Energien decken knapp 18 Prozent des Raumwärmebedarfs ab. Der Stromverbrauch für
Raumwärme, Warmwasser und die Haus -, Lüftungs - und Klimatechn ik beträgt rund 14 Prozent.
3.1.2 Trends
Verschiedene Trends werden den zukünftigen Energiebedarf sowie die Energieproduktion der pri-
vaten Haushalte sowohl negativ wie positiv stark beeinflussen. Nachstehend eine Auswahl, welche
direkt auf den Energiebedarf der Gebäude Einfluss hat.
Trends mit verbrauchs - und CO 2-mindernder Wirkung
Dank g riffigere n Energie - und Umweltvorschriften werden fossile Wärm eerzeuger durch Wär-
meerzeuger mit erneuerbaren Energien ersetzt und Gebäude energetisch saniert.
Die vermehrte Digitalisierung der Gebäudetechnik ermöglicht es , z.B. Gebäude vorausschau-
end wetter - und temperaturabhängig zu betreiben. Dies k ann aber auch z.B. durch übermäs-
sigen Einsatz von Sensoren und Steuerungen zu einem zusätzlichen Energieeinsatz führen. 15
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Die Dek arbonisierung wird zu einer stärkeren Elektrifizierung führen , z.B. verstärkter Einsatz
von Wärmepumpen , Photovoltaik -Anlagen, Elektro fahrzeugen und el ektrischen Speichern
(Batterien ).
Die zunehmende Wettbewerbsfähigkeit erneuerbarer Energien und von Energ ieeffizienztech-
nologien führt dazu, dass sich diese Technologien im Markt durchsetzen.
Die Systembetrachtung eines Gebäudes in Verbindung zu seiner Umgebung führt zur optima-
leren Produktion, Nutzung und Speicherung von erneuerbaren Energien und Abwärme in Ver-
bindung mit den Verbrauchern.
Der Bevölkerungszunahme wird mit verdichtetem Bauen entgegnet werden müssen, womit die
Wohnfläche und damit der Energiebedarf pro Einwohner gesenkt werden können .
Trends mit verbrauchs - und CO 2-steigernder Wirkung
Höhere Komfortanforderungen der Bewohner (u.a. Klimatisierun g, mehr Geräte, mehr Wohn-
fläche) und die Bevölkerungszunahme werden den Energiebedarf erhöhen.
Höhere Baukosten führen zu Konkurrenz zwischen energetischen Massnahmen und anderen
Gebäudemassnahmen .
Trends mit unklarer Wirkung
Der Klimawandel führt zu einem Druck nach vermehrter Klimatisierung in der Sommerperiode,
zu kürzeren Winterperioden und in der Folge zu Notwendigkeit neue r städtebauliche r Lösun-
gen ( z.B. vermehrte Begrünung der Innenstädte).
3.1.3 Potenziale
Im Themengebiet Gebäude und erneuerbare Energie in privaten Haushalten gibt es einige Poten-
ziale für Energieeinsparungen:
Durch eine Gebäudehüllensanierung kann der Energiebedarf bei bestehenden Gebäuden re-
alistisch gesehen durchschnittlich um rund 50 Prozent reduziert werden.
Gleichzeitig kann nahezu jedes Wohngebäude (Ausnahmen vorbehalten) mit erneuerbaren
Energien betrieben werden (u.a. Photovoltaik, Umgebungswärme/Wärmepumpen, Holzener-
gie/Pellets , Solarwärme ). Einfamilien - und M ehrfamilienhäuser können zudem für die Produk-
tion von erneuerbaren Energien genutzt werden, welche sogar den Eigenbedarf übersteigt.
Aus diesem Grunde ist es wichtig, bei den Gebäuden die Effizienz und die Produktion erneu-
erbarer Energien (inkl. Elektrizit ät für die Elektromobilität) zusammen zu betrachten.
16
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
3.1.4 Hemmnisse
Vor allem folgende Aspekte wirken im Gebäudebereich als Hemmnisse oder Wissens - und Hand-
lungsdefizite:
Nur knapp die Hälfte der privaten Haushalte kann allein entscheiden. Vor allem mit der Part-
nerin/dem Partner, mit Familienmitgliedern oder mit Nachbarn zusammen wird die Entschei-
dung getroffen1.
Eine Investition , z.B. in eine Heizung , die mit erneuerbaren Energien betrieben wird, wird als
mühsam, schwierig umzusetzen oder aufwändig empfunde n. Viele Konsumenten bleiben aus
«Bequemlichkeit» bei einem Anbieter, weil man für einen Wechsel Zeit und Energie investieren
müsste1.
Fossile Heizungen sowie Elektrodirektheizungen werden immer noch in den selteneren Fällen
durch eine Wärmeerzeugung mit e rneuerbare n Energien ersetzt. Vielfach werden nicht einmal
Alternativen zum bisherigen System geprüft.
Teilerneuerungen und Gesamtsanierungen werden oftmals ohne eigentliche Strategie und
energetisch ungenügend erstellt ( z.B. Wärmebrücken, nicht im Neubau - oder Minergie stan-
dard). Gebäudesanierungsstrategien werden kaum erstellt.
Dachsanierungen oder Fassadensanierungen gegen Süden werden erst selten für den Einsatz
von Photovoltaik und/oder Solarthermie genutzt.
Es fehlen genügend gut ausgebildete Fachleu te, Planer und Architekten.
Überforderung der Eigentümer aufgrund der hohen Komplexität resp. vieler anderer zu ent-
scheidender Punkte beim Bau oder der Sanierung eines Gebäudes.
Fehlendes Wissen bezüglich den Gebäudestandards Minergie und SNBS (Möglichkeit en, Nut-
zen und Kosten, etc.).
Leitungsgebundene Gebäude sind zukünftig vermehrt mit erneuerbaren Energien für Strom
und Wärme zu versorgen. Die Umwandlung der Netze ist unumgänglich, damit in grossem
Ausmass erneuerbare Energie genutzt werden kann.
Die Woh neigentümer sind sich des Energiebedarfs und effektiven Energieverbrauchs ihres
Gebäudes zu wenig bewusst.
Die Wohneigentümer (insbes. von grösseren Gebäuden) kontrollieren ihre Gebäude im Betrieb
noch ungenügend und setzen Optimierungen zu wenig um.
Woh neigentümer und Mietende betreiben und nutzen ihr Gebäude noch zu wenig energie-
effizient.
Die Wohneigentümer wissen kaum, wie sie die selber produzierte n erneuerbare Energien op-
timal nutzen können.
Bei grösseren Immobilienentwicklungen (Brache, Quartier -Areal) sind Zielkonflikte mit anderen
Bereichen im Sinne der nachhaltigen Entwicklung vermehrt zu berücksichtigen.

3.1.5 Energie - und klimapolitische Ziele und Massnahmen
Das Energie - und das CO 2-Gesetz formulieren verschieden klare Zielsetzungen, wel che teilweise
den Energiebedarf privater Haushalte direkt adressieren.
Im Themengebiet der Energieeffizienz ist der durchschnittliche Pro -Kopf-Energieverbrauch gegen-
über dem Jahr 2000 bis 2020 um 16 Prozent und bis 2035 um 43 Prozent zu senk en (EnG, Art. 3,
Abs. 1). Der durchschnittliche Pro -Kopf-Stromverbrauch ist gegenüber dem Jahr 2000 bis 2020 um
3 Prozent und bis 2035 um 13 Prozent zu senken (EnG, Art. 3, Abs. 2).
Im Bereich der erneuerbaren Energien ist bei der Produktion von Elektrizität aus erneuer baren Ener-
gien (Wasserkraft ausgenommen ) ein Ausbau anzustreben, mit dem die durchschnittliche inländi-
sche Produktion im Jahr 2020 bei mindestens 4 400 GWh und im Jahr 2035 bei mindestens 11 400
GWh liegt (EnG, Art. 2, Abs. 1).
Das CO 2-Gesetz definiert im Entwurf zur Totalrevision (befindet sich in der parlamentarischen De-
batte) verschiedene Verminderungsziele. So sollen die Treibhausgasemissionen im Jahr 2030
höchstens 50 Prozent der Treibhausgasemissionen im Jahr 1990 betragen. Im Durchschnitt der
Jahre 2 021 bis 2030 müssen die Treibhausgasemissionen um mindestens 35 Prozent gegenüber
1990 vermindert werden. Dabei soll die Verminderung im Jahr 2030 zu mindestens 60 Prozent mit
im Inland durchgeführten Massnahmen erfolgen. Im Durchschnitt der Jahre 2021 bis 2030 sollen
die Treibhausgasemissionen im Inland um mindestens 25 Prozent gegenüber 1990 vermindert wer-
den (Botschaft zur Totalrevision CO 2-Gesetz, Art. 3, Abs. 1).
Die CO 2-Ziele führen in Ergänzung zum Energieeffizienzziel zu einem grossen Druck, fossile Brenn -
und Treibstoffe durch erneuerbare Wärme und Treibstoffe zu substituieren. Bei den Gebäuden folgt
aus den CO 2-Zielen, dass bis 2050 kein Heizöl, Erdgas oder Strom für den direkten Verbrauch zum
Heizen eingesetzt werden soll (Ausnahmen vorbehalten) . Ein Grossteil der Gebäude soll bis 2050
saniert sein. Erdöl - und Erdgasheizungen sowie ortsfeste elektrische Widerstandsheizungen sollen
– soweit technisch möglich und wirtschaftlich tragbar – durch erneuerbare Energien ersetzt werde n2.
Es bestehen bereits eine Reihe von energie - und klimapolitische n Massnahmen , um die entspre-
chenden Zielsetzungen zu erreichen :
Materielle Vorschriften zu Gebäuden (Baugesetzgebung, Energiegesetz, Raum - und Energie-
planung) geben die minimalen energetischen Anforderungen an ein Gebäude vor. Diese liegen
vor allem in der Kompetenz der Kantone oder teilweise sogar der Gemeinden. Der Bund be-
schränkt sich auf eine Rahmengesetzgebung mit allfälligen Zielvorgaben.
Die CO 2-Abgabe führt dazu, dass erneuerbare Energi en und Energieeffizienztechnologien ge-
genüber fossilen Energien konkurrenzfähiger werden.
Die CO 2-Teilzweckbindung dient u.a. zur Finanzierung des Gebäudeprogramms zur Förderung
der Energieeffizienz und der vermehrten Nutzung erneuerbarer Energien und von Abwärme .
Damit werden u.a. Gebäudehüllenmassnahmen, Minergie -Bauten, Wärmepumpen, Holz- und
Pellet feuerungen, solare Wärmekollektoren, Fernwärmeprojekte etc. finanziell unterstützt.

Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Die Einmalvergütung sowie die kostendeckende Einspeisevergütung dienen zur Förderung der
Stromproduktion aus erneuerbaren Energien. Dadurch werden u.a. vermehrt Photovoltaikan-
lagen auf Dächern und an Fassaden von Wohngebäuden angebracht.
Dank den Bestimmungen in der Luftreinhalteverordnung, welche laufend durch den Bund ins-
beson dere an die EU und den Stand der Technik angepasst wird , gelten bei der Verbrennung
von Brennstoffen hohe Anforderungen . Dies führt dazu, dass überalterte Wärmeerzeuger er-
setzt werden müssen.
Vorschriften im Gerätebereich (welche laufend durch den Bund ins besondere an die EU ange-
passt werden ), führen dank den relativ kurzen Ersatzzyklen dazu, dass in Gebäuden mittelfris-
tig weitgehend effiziente Geräte im Einsatz sind .
Von den w ettbewerbliche n Ausschreibungen zur Förderung von Programme n und Projekten
für St romeffizienzmassnahmen profitieren direkt auch Gebäudebesitzer .
Im Rahme n der Kompensationsprojekte zur Förderung von Programme n und Projekte n zur
Treibhausgasreduktion werden u.a. Projekte im Gebäudebereich unterstützt (z.B. Wärmenetze) .
Dank den s teuerli chen Abzüge n für Energiespar - und Umweltschutzmassnahmen werden In-
vestitionen in entsprechende Massnahmen günstiger .
3.1.6 Verbleibende Herausforderungen
Im Rahmen einer Verhaltensmessung des Programm s «erneu erbar heizen» hat sich gezeigt, dass e in
generelles Bewusstsein für den CO 2-Effekt des Heizens besteht, jedoch wird der eigene Beitrag als
nicht signifikant eingeschätzt. Dieser Gap lässt sich dadurch erklären, dass die Schweizerinnen und
Schweizer zu wenig informiert sind und zu unregelmässig informiert we rden. Um eine nachhaltige
Verhaltensänderung zu bewirken, müssen die Entscheidungsträger die richtigen Informationen, in der
richtigen Form, zum richtigen Zeitpunkt und am richtigen Ort durch eine Vertrauensperson erhalten3.
EnergieSchweiz will vor allem i n den «Feldern» tätig werden, bei denen das Programm eine we-
sentliche Rolle einn ehmen und Wirkung erzielen kann u.a.:
Minimierung von Hemmnisse n (vgl. u.a. 3.1.4) , welche den klima - und energiepolitische n Ziel-
setzungen entgegenstehen .
Sicherstellung der Aus- und Weiterbildung für genügend Fachkräfte
Bereitstellung von neutrale n Informationsmaterialien, Hilfsmittel n und Werkzeuge n
Anpassung von Normen, Baustandards und Labels zeitgerecht entsprechend der technischen
Entwicklung sowie den internationalen N ormen.

3.2 Ziele
3.2.1 Effizienzziele
Aufgrund der im Energiegesetz festgelegten Richtwerte, der im CO 2-Gesetz vorau ssichtlich zukünf-
tig definierte n Reduktionsziele und unter Berücksichtigung bestehender sektorspezifische r Strate-
gien4 und der Effizienzpotenziale we rden im Sinne von Orientierungsgrössen bezüglich Gebäuden
folgende Effizienzziele für die privaten Haushalte definiert:
Bis 2030 beträgt der Endenergieverbrauch (Wärme und Elektrizität) des schweizerischen Ge-
bäudeparks 805 TWh anstelle von 100 TWh (Dur chschnitt 2010 –2015).
Der mittlere Verbrauch je m2 ist 2030 im Vergleich zu 2010 um 306 Prozent tiefer. Wird das
Wachstum der Gebäudeflächen berücksichtigt, ist je m2 Energiebezugsfläche eine noch grös-
sere Anstrengung nötig. So muss der Durchschnitt der Ener giekennzahl über alle Energieträ-
ger auf 100 kWh/m2/Jahr gesenkt werden (im Vergleich zu 145 kWh/m2/Jahr in 2010).
Bis 2030 beträgt der Primärenergieverbrauch pro Person 30007 Watt (inklusive Mobilität).
3.2.2 Produktionsziele
Die Ziele zur Produktion von Elektrizität aus erneuerbaren Energien leiten sich aus den Vorgaben
des Energiegesetzes und bezgl. Wärme aus erneuerbaren Energien aus dem CO 2-Gesetz ab. Be-
treffend Ausbauzielen für einzelne Technologien orientiert sich das BFE an den Energieperspekti-
ven8. In der Vision für den Gebäudepark 2050 hat das BFE (2018) Ziele betreffend die Abdeckung
des Eigenbedarfs und die Stromproduktion aus erneuerbaren Energien für die Elektromobilität defi-
niert. Zudem sollen die Energienetze bis 2050 den Austausch ermögliche n, d.h. Energie zu liefern
und die Möglichkeit, Überproduktion einzuspeisen.
Die Ziele betreffend Stromproduktion lauten:
1. Die Haushalte erzeugen bis 2035 49 TWh Elektrizität aus erneuerbaren Energien ( etwa 1/3 des
Richtwerts aus dem En ergie gesetz ). Für Haushalte eignet sich praktisch nur die Photovoltaik
als Produktionstechnologie. Somit sind die 4 TWh mittels Photovoltaik zu decken.
2. Bis 2030 ist der Eigenbedarf zu rund 3010 Prozent in jeder Jahreszeit abgedeckt und zusätzli-
che Energieerzeugung für andere Anwendungen sichergestellt . Ein Gebäude, Quartier, Areal
oder Stadt wird seinen energetischen Bedarf möglichst selbst decken, ohne die Speicherkapa-
zität des Netzes in Anspruch zu nehmen.

3. Bis 2030 erzeugen Gebäude zu rund 3011 Prozent der Elektrizität für d ie Elektromobilität. Die
Elektromobilität wird auch lokale Speicherkapazitäten bereitstellen können, mit denen die Ge-
bäude in Wechselwirkung stehen.
Die Ziele betreffend Wärmenutzung und -produktion lauten:
1. Ab 2030 dürfen beim Wärmeerzeugerersatz nur noch in sehr gut gedämmten Gebäuden, als
Spitzenlastkessel sowie in Ausnahmefällen (technische, finanzielle Gründe, Denkmalschutz
usw.) fossile Kessel eingesetzt werden (vgl. Botschaft zur Totalrevision des CO 2-Gesetzes
nach 2020). D as heisst bis 2030 beträgt der Anteil erneuerbarer Energien (u.a. Photovoltaik,
Umgebungswärme/Wärmepumpen, Holzenergie/Pellets , Solarwärme ) bei neu installierten
Wärmerzeugern in Neubauten 100 Prozent und bei Altbauten 8012 Prozent .
2. Bis 2025 werden die Fernwärmenetze zu über 8013 Prozent mit Abwärme oder erneuerbaren
Energien versorgt. Für die Abdeckung des Spitzenbedarfs werden die Fernwärmenetze noch
auf fossile Anlagen zurückgreifen dürfen.
3. Das aus dem Netz bezogene Gas soll bis 2035 zu einem möglichst hohen Anteil aus erneuer-
baren Quellen gedeckt werden (einheimisch und ausländisch).
3.2.3 Verhalten der verschiedenen Akteure
Wohneigentümer (Einfamilienhaus -, Wohnungs - und Stockwerkeigentümer) sind hinsichtlich
des optimalen Betriebs und der optimalen Nutzung eines Gebäudes sensibilis iert und bereit,
eine energetisch optimale Sanierung durchzuführen.
Mietende entscheiden sich vermehrt für ein energieeffizientes Gebäude und machen den Ver-
mieter auf Gebäudeteile aufmerksam, welche in einem schlechten energetischen Zustand sind
oder nich t korrekt betrieben werden.
Mietende /Vermietende beeinflussen den Energieverbrauch bei technischen Anlagen und Ge-
räten (z.B. Komfortlüftung, Thermostatventil, Waschmaschinen, Geschirrspüler, Warmwasser-
temperatur etc.) durch entsprechende Einstellungen, War tungen und Nutzung.
Vermietende (Private, Genossenschaften und professionelle Investoren) nehmen ihre poten-
tiell grosse Multiplikationswirkung für eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung der Ziele im Gebäudebe-
reich wahr.
Für die anvisierten Themen werden passende Mittler und Multiplikatoren gewählt , welche
direkt oder indirekt auf die Zielgruppen einwirken. Eine direkte Informierung läuft beispiels-
weise vom Heizungsinstallateur oder der Gebäudeversicherung an die Eigentümer. Umgekehrt
wirkt die indirekte Informieru ng über Aus - und Weiterbildungsorganisationen, die Fachleute
ausbilden, welche dann die Eigentümer beraten.

3.3 Massnahmen
Die Priorisierung der zukünftigen Stossrichtungen resp. Massnahmen von EnergieSchweiz im Be-
reich der privaten Haushalte basiert auf folg enden Überlegungen:
Massnahmen im bestehenden Gebäudepark verfügen über ein grosses Potenzial bezüglich
der Reduktion sowie Optimierung des Energiebedarfs, der Substitution fossiler Energien resp.
des Einsatzes erneuerbarer Energien.
Mit gezielten Richtungsentscheiden können im Infrastrukturbereich (Energienetze, Immobilien-
entwicklungen) grosse Wirkungen im Sinne der nachhaltigen Entwicklung erzielt werden.
Technische Anlagen sind korrekt in Betrieb zu nehmen und zu betreiben, damit d ie Planungs-
werte eingehalten und der Betrieb der Anlagen dauerhaft energieeffizient erfolgt.
Will man die Zielsetzungen erreichen, werden genügend gut ausgebildete und kompetente
Fachleute benötigt. Die Aus - und Weiterbildung und die Qualitätssicherung neh men deshalb
über alle Themen eine zentrale Querschnittsfunktion ein.
Die Massnahmen erster Priorität lauten wie folgt:
Förderung des Ersatzes fossiler Wärmeerzeuger sowie Elektrodirektheizungen durch erneuer-
bare Energien: z.B. m it Aus - und Weiterbil dung, Beratung, Kommunikationsgrundlagen, tech-
nische Grundlagen und Massnahmen zur Qualitätssicherung sowie über verschiedene Kom-
munikationskanäle und Partnerschaften soll EnergieSchweiz dazu beitragen, dass bei jedem
Ersatz ein erneuerbares Heizsystem mitofferi ert wird.
Förderung und Vereinfachung des Einsatzes erneue rbarer Energien u.a. durch:
o Grundlagenermittlung und g ezielte Information sverbreitung zu allen Themen, die bei Pla-
nung, Bau und Betrieb von Anlagen zur Nutzung erneuerbarer Energien wichtig sind (vgl.
z.B. Kapitel 6.3 und 6.4), in Abstimmung /Zusammenarbeit mit den Branchenverbänden
von erneuerbaren Energien.
o Unterstützung der Aktivitäten von Institutionen und Anlässen, die für Endkunden den Ein-
satz erneuerbarer Energien fördern und vereinfachen .
o Abbau von Hürden und Vorurteilen und Bewerben v on erneuerbaren Energien durch Stu-
dien, Kampagnen etc. , in Abstimmung/Zusammenarbeit mit den Branchenverbänden von
erneuerbaren Energien.
o Unterstützung von Massnahmen zur Verbesserung der Qualität der Anlagen ( z.B. Stär-
kung der Position der Endkunden undqu alitätssteige rnde Massnahmen der Branchen,
Verbände und sonstiger Ins titutionen wie Fachhochschulen)
Förderung des Umbaus des Schweizer Energiesystems (z.B. Stromnetz) hin zu starker de-
zentraler, erneuerbarer und digitalisierter Energieerzeugung insbesonde re durch:
o Wissenserwerb durch Studien , Umfragen etc. und Unterstützung entsprechender Akt ivi-
täten anderer Akteure und Verbreitung dieser Erkenntnisse in der breiten Öffentlichkeit
sowie bei m Fachpublikum.
o Verbreitung von Erkenntnissen
o Unterstützung der Branchenverbände von e rneuerbaren Energien bei der Mitarbeit an
Normen und Branchenlösungen bei anderen Verbändern und Gremien (VSE, SIA, etc.)
o Erstellung von Hilfsmitteln zur Erleichterung der Umsetzung hoheitlicher Massnah men
und Regelungen 22
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Information u nd Beratung der Fachverbände für Gebäudehüllenmassnahmen sowie der Gebäu-
deeigentümer u.a. über energetisch optimale Gebäudehüllen sanierungslösungen mit dem bes-
ten Kosten/Nutzen -Verhältnis sowie über den Einsatz von S olaranlagen (Dach und Fassade)
Gezielte Information für Gebäude eigentümer, Vermieter und Mietende , damit sie in der Lage
sind, den energetischen Zustand des Gebäudes richtig zu beurteilen sowie das Gebäude bzw.
die technischen Anlagen richtig zu betreiben und zu optimieren.
Unterstützung der Au s- und Weiterbildung der Fachleute bezüglich z.B. effiziente Materialien,
innovative Technologien sowie das nachhaltige Bauen ( Planung und Umsetzung der Gebäu-
destandards Minergie und SNBS, GEAK Plus, 2000 -Watt-Areale, energierelevanter SIA -Nor-
men, grauer E nergie, LowTech -Lösungen und Digitalisierung etc. ) in Zusammenarbeit mit den
Fachverbänden und Kantonen.
Unterstützung u.a. von Gemeinden und Energieversorgern bei der Analyse von bestehenden
Energienetzen, damit diese bis im Jahr 2050 so angepasst werden können, dass sie nicht nur
erneuerbare Energie liefern, sondern auch jedem Produzenten ermöglichen, seine Überpro-
duktion – sei sie thermisch oder elektrisch – einzuspeisen.
Unterstützung insbesondere von Analysen bei grösseren Immo bilienentwicklungen (Brache,
Quartier -Areal , inklusive induzierte Mobilität und Mobilitätsmassnahmen ) im Sinne der nach-
haltigen Entwicklung und der Ziele der 2000 -Watt -Gesellschaft , um Zielkonflikte mit anderen
Bereichen im Sinne der nachhaltigen Entwicklu ng zu berücksichtigen.
Die Massnahmen zweiter Priorität lauten wie folgt:
Verstärkte Information der Eigentümer bezüglich des Nutzen s einer Gebäudesanierungsstra-
tegie resp. der Erstellung eines GEAK Plus in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Verein GEAK und den
Kantonen, welche hier im Lead sind. Das Ziel ist die v ermehrte Anwendung und Praxistaug-
lichkeit eines zentralen und qualitativ hochstehenden Instrumentes (GEAK Plus).
Verstärkte Information der Eigentümer und Miete nden z.B. bezüglich des Nutzen s einer Ge-
samtsa nierung anstelle von Teil - und Pinselsanierungen in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Verein
Minergie und d en Kantone n (Gebäudeprogramm) .
Verstärkte Information der Investoren z.B. bezüglich des Nutzen s eines Neubaus resp. Ersatz-
neubaus nach Minergie - oder SNBS -Standard in Zusammenarbeit mit den Vereine n Minergie
und NNBS (Netzwerk Nachhaltiges Bauen Schweiz) sowie den Kantone n (Gebäudeprogramm) .
Gezielte Information der Investoren z.B. bezüglich einer gesamtheitlichen und nachhaltigen
Betrachtung eines Gebäudes in deren Umfeld (Areal, Gemeinde, Region) (Gebäude als Sys-
tem im System) sowie gebäudespezifischen Themen wie graue Energie, Low Tech, Energie -
Monitoring und Mobilitätsinfrastruktur (u.a. Ladestationen) in Zusammenarbeit mit den Verei-
nen Minergie und NNBS sowie 2000 -Watt -Areale, der Wirtschaft (u.a. Energieversoger, Ver-
bände, Herstel ler), Hochschulen und Gemeinden.
Gezielte Information der Investoren z.B. über den Nutzen, Bestgeräte zu kaufe n resp. alte Ge-
räte zu ersetzen (z.B. Weissgeräte, Pumpen, Ventilatoren, Heizungs - und Lüftungssysteme ).
Zudem sollen sie dazu motiviert werden, die Geräte im Smart -Grid-ready -Standard zu wählen.
In Zusammenarbeit mit der Branche (z.B. Küchenbauer, Grossverteiler etc.) soll erreicht wer-
den, dass bei Offertanfrage n immer auch ein Bestgerät angeboten wird. 23

Gezielte Information der Wohneigentümer z.B. bezüglich der optimalen Eigennutzung der
selbst produzierten erneuerbaren Energie . Dazu gehört z.B. die Optimierung und/oder der Zu-
sammenschluss zum Eigenverbrauch von Elektrizität. Partner wie Swissolar und EVU sollen
einbezogen werden.
Gezielte Information der Wohneigentümer und Mietende n z.B. bezüglich der energieeffizienten
Betreibung und Nutzung ihres Gebäude s. Dazu soll mit Verbänden (Eigentümer, Mieter) zu-
sammeng earbeitet werden.

Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Mobilität von Privaten und Unternehmen
Jede Schweizerin und jeder Schweizer legen im Jahr im Schnitt knapp 25 000 km zurück, davon 55
Prozent im Inland und 36 Prozent mit dem Flugzeug. Mehr als drei Viertel der Haushalte besitzen
minde stens ein Auto, in nahezu jedem dritten Haushalt sind zwei oder mehr Personenwagen vor-
handen. Durchschnittlich 90 Minuten pro Tag sind Menschen in der Schweiz mobil und legen dabei
im Inla nd knapp 37 km zurück, davon 65 Prozent im Auto, ca. 24 Prozent im öffentlichen Verkehr,
5 Prozent zu Fuss und 2 Prozent auf dem Velo. Der Freizeitverkehr ist mit einem Anteil von 44
Prozent an der täglich zurückgelegten Distanz der mit Abstand bedeutendste Verkehrszweck, ge-
folgt vom Weg zur Arbeit (24%), dem Einkaufs verkehr (13%) sowie dem Geschäftsverkehr (7%).
Und der Verkehr wird weiter hin wachsen . Sämtliche Szenarien der Schweizerischen Verkehrsper-
spektiven 2040 zeigen, dass sowohl der Strassen - als auch der Schienenverkehr bis ins Jahr 2040
stark zunehmen werden. Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse aus dem Referenzszenario sind (Szenario
ohne staatliche Eingriffe; im Vergleich zu 2010):
Im Personenverkehr steigt die Verkehrsleistung um 25 Prozent von 115 auf 145 Mrd. Perso-
nenkilometer. Der öffentliche Verkehr (ÖV) weist mit +51 Prozent ein deutlich hö heres Wachs-
tum auf als der MIV mit +18 Prozent . Als Folge erhöht sich der Anteil des ÖV am Modal Split
bei den Verkehrsleistungen von 19 Prozent im Jahr 2010 auf 23 Prozent im Jahr 2040 .
Einkau fs- (38 %) und Freizeitwege (32 %) nehmen am stä rksten zu, die Arbeitswege (16 %)
am geringsten.
Im Güterverkehr steigt die Verkehrsleistung um 37 Prozent (37 Mrd. Tonnenkilometer). Im Ver-
gleich Strasse -Schiene findet eine Verlagerung um 2 Prozentpunkte zur Schiene statt.
Ferner ist beim Luftverkehrsaufkommen von 2013 bis 2030 mit einer Zunahme um 68 Prozent , von
14.9 auf 25.1 Mio. Reisen zu rechnen14.
Alleine mit Ausbauten wird dieses Verkehrswachstum nicht zu bewältigen sein. Und auch aus ener-
getischer Sicht muss die Effizienz bei der Bewältigung der Mobilität sbedürfnisse erheblich gesteigert
werden, um die Ziele der Energie - und Klimapolitik erreichen zu können. Bestehende Mobilitätsformen
müssen effizienter und neue effiziente Technologien vermehrt genutzt werden. Aber auch die Tren ds
in den Bereichen Elektrifizierung, Digitalisierung und Sharing werden helfen, die Effizienz zu erhöhen.
4.1 Ausgangslage
4.1.1 Energieverbrauch
Der Anteil des Verkehrs am Energieverbrauch der Schweiz beträgt 2017 36 Prozent (BFE; Schweiz.
Gesamtenergiestatistik ). Der Verbrauch wird dominiert vom Strassenpersonenverkehr (70 %). Fos-
sile Treibstoffe sind mit Abstand die wichtigsten Energieträger im Verkehr (Anteil von über 9 5 %).
Jährlich geben Schweizerinnen und Schweizer im Schnitt über 10 Mrd. Franken für Treibst offe aus.
14 Quelle: Entwicklung des Luftverkehrs in der Schweiz bis 2030 – Nachfrageprognose, Intraplan Consult GmbH, Juni 2015 25
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Der Verkehrsanteil an den Schweizer Treibhausgasemissionen ohne den internationalen Luftver-
kehr beträgt 2017 knapp 32 Prozent , drei Viertel davon werden von den Personenwagen verursacht,
gefolgt von schweren Nutzfahrzeugen (12 %) und Lieferwagen (7 %).
Pro Jahr werden in der Schweiz rund 300 000 Personenwagen und rund 30 000 leichte Nutzfahr-
zeuge neu immatrikuliert. Der Fahrzeugbestand hat seit dem Jahrtausendwechsel konstant zuge-
nommen und setzt sich im 2018 zusammen aus: 4.6 Mio. Personenwagen, 375 000 leichten Nutz-
fahrzeugen (bis 3.5t) und gut 52 500 schweren Nutzfahrzeugen (über 3.5t).
4.1.2 Trends
In den letzten zehn Jahren kam es zur Stabilisierung des Energieverbrauchs im Verkehrssektor.
Das Zwischenziel für 2015, die Stabilisierung der CO 2-Emissi onen – ohne internationalem Luftver-
kehr – auf dem Niveau 1990, wurde hingegen verpasst.
Die Mobilität wird in den kommenden Jahren noch stärker durch die Megatrends Digitalisierung und
Sharing geprägt werden. Zudem wird die Elektrifizierung der Antriebe weiter voranschreiten. Dies
wird sich stark auf das Mobilitätssystem auswirken . Folgende Trends sind dabei zu beachten:
Trends mit verbrauchssteigernder Wirkung :
Kontinuierlicher Anstieg des Fahrzeugbestandes
Kontinuierlicher Anstieg der Verkehrsleistung, sowohl auf Strasse und auf Schiene
Die Neuwagenflotte wird aufgrund der höheren Kaufkraft der Schweizer Bevölkerung weiterhin
schwerer und leistungsstärker sein als in den anderen europäischen Ländern
Bisher t endenziell r ückläufige Auslastung der Personenwagen , zukünftige Entwicklung unklar
(grosse Potenziale durch Carpooling/Ridesharing)
Überproportionaler Anstieg beim internationalen Flugverkehr
Rückgang bei der Velonutzung der Kinder und Jugendlichen
Zunehmende Mobilität der über 64 -Jährigen – insbesondere Fahrten mit dem Auto (steigender
Führerausweisbesitz bei dieser Alter sgruppe )
Freizeitverkehr nimmt weiterhin zu.
Trends mit verbrauchsmindernder Wirkung :
Die fortschreitende Digitalisierung ermöglicht eine noch bessere Vernetzung der Mobilitätsträger .
Die Einführung des neuen Prüfzyklus WLTP (Worldwide harmonized Light vehicle Test Proce-
dure) stellt sicher , dass Effizienzsteigerungen zur Einhaltung der gesetzlichen Zielvorgaben auch
im realen Fahrbetrieb erzielt werden. Weitergehende V orgaben (z.B. RDE -Messungen für CO 2-
Emissionen) und Verschärfungen sowie Ausweitungen im Bereich der CO 2-Emissionsvorschrif-
ten auf weitere Fahrzeugkategorien führen zu einer markanten Absenkung de s CO 2-Ausstosses .
Politischer Druck und gesellschaftliche Diskussionen führen zur aktiven Förderung der Elekt-
romobilität sowie Verkauf - und Fahrverboten in verschiedenen europäischen Ländern für kon-
ventionelle Antriebstechnologien. Dies wirkt sich auf das Fahrzeugangebot der Hersteller aus .
Zunahme der Anteile al ternativer Antriebe – insbesondere der Elektromobilität , wo das Ange-
bot an Modellen erheblich zunehmen wird , und die Herstellungskosten der Fahrzeuge und in
Folge auch deren Preise stark sinken werden . 26
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Aufbau der nötigen Infrastruktur für die Elektromobili tät. Förderung des Eigenverbrauchs von
selbsterzeugtem Strom , um die Belastung der Netze zu verringern .
Stärkere Verbreitung von Assistenzsysteme n, die zu einem energieeffizienteren Fahrverhalten
beitragen .
Rückgang beim Führerausweisbesitz bei den jungen Erwachsenen bis 2010, seit 2015 wieder
leichte Erhöhung .
Aufkommen neuer Mobilitätsformen wie Carsharing oder Carpooling und der daraus resultie-
renden effizienteren Nutzung der Fahrzeuge und einer Abnahme beim Fahrzeugbesitz .
Weitere Abnahme beim Fahrzeugbesitz in urbanen Gebieten
Zunahme von Microbility , E-Scooter n im urbanen Bereich und in Verbindung mit dem öffentli-
chen Verkehr
Aufkommen neuer Arbeitsformen ( z.B. Home -Office ), die den Pendlerverkehr reduzieren.
Weiterer Ausbau und Optimierung des öffentlichen Verkehrs und der Verlagerung des Güter-
verkehrs auf die Schiene .
Trend mit unklarer Wirkung :
Entwicklung hin zu selbstfahrenden Fahrzeugen: Bei dieser Entwicklung sind die Auswirkun-
gen auf die Mobilität und auf den Energieverbrauch noch kaum abschätzbar. Zahlreiche Stu-
dien zeigen, dass n eue Nutzergruppen , die Möglichkeit, unterwegs zu arbeiten sowie Leerfahr-
ten zu erheblichem Mehrverkehr führen können . Eine zeitliche Einschätzung in Bezug auf die
Einführung von vollautomatisierten Fahrzeugen u nd deren Marktdurchdringung ist derzeit al-
lerdings schwierig.
4.1.3 Poten ziale
Im Verkehrsbereich bestehen erhebliche Effizienzpotenziale. Durch die Wahl energieeffizienter
Transportmittel und eine intelligentere Steuerung von Mobilitätsketten, durch den Kauf e nergieeffi-
zienter Personenwagen sowie mit einem energieeffizienten Fahrverhalten und der intensiveren Nut-
zung von neuartigen Assistenzsystemen erscheint eine Verbesserung der Energieeffizienz im Mo-
bilitätsbereich bis 2030 um mindestens 20 Prozent realisier bar. Zusätzliche Potenziale bestehen bei
Unternehmen sowie der Güterlogistik. Dieses Potenzial kann teilweise durch den Ersatz fossiler
Treibstoffe insbesondere durch Strom und erneuerbare Treibstoffe realisiert werden.
Die Poten ziale unterscheiden sich je nach Massnahmenschwerpunkt deutlich:
a) Mobilitätsverhalten : Einspar potenzial bis zu 100 Prozent (Umstieg vom Auto auf das Velo ,
Ersatz von Flugreisen durch Videokonferenzen ), rasch realisierbar, aber nicht zwingend dau-
erhaft und häufig geringe Akzeptanz bzw. grosse Bedeutung von Routinen.
b) Kaufverhalten : Energieeffiziente Fahrzeuge und alternative Antriebe (inkl. Infrastruktur) : Ho-
hes Potenzial von bis zu 50 Prozent , wegen der hohen Fahrzeuglebensdauer und der geringen
Erneuerungsrate jedoch erst langfristig voll realisierbar .
c) Fahrverhalten/e ffizientes Fahren : Reduktions potenzial ca. 20 Prozent , rasch umsetzbar aber
nicht zwingend dauerhaft. Grosse Zielgruppe von 4.6 Millionen Fahrzeugbesitz ende n, die an-
gesprochen werden können , dadurch grosses Ein sparpotential vorhanden. 27
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
d) Energieeffiziente Mobilität in Unternehmen : Erhebliche Einsparpotenziale bestehen beim
Pendler -, Geschäfts -, Besucher - und Kundenverkehr . Reduktionspotenziale von mindestens
20 Prozent lassen sich bei der durch die Unternehmen bee influssbaren Personenmobilität mit-
tel- und langfristig realisieren.
e) Energieeffizienz im Güterverkehr und der Logistik : Auch bei den Transportmitteln und im
Bereich der Güterlogistik sind verschiedene Effizienzpotenziale vorhanden , u.a. bei der Be-
schaffung und beim Betrieb der Nutzfahrzeuge und in der Güterfeinverteilung.
4.1.4 Hemmnisse
Die Hemmnisse sind vielfältig . Dazu gehören :
Mobilitätskosten haben bei vielen Unternehmen, vor allem im Dienstleistungssektor (ohne
Transport) eine untergeordnete Bedeutung, u.a., weil ein wesentlicher Teil der unternehmens-
induzierten Mobilität kosten durch Pendler und Besucher getragen wird .
Fehlanreize durch Arbei tgeber , Steuerbehörden, Detailhandel, Tourismus , Autobranche/Im-
porteure : Gratisparkplätze, ho he Kilometer -Pauschalen für PW -Fahrten, Flottenrabatte für
grosse und leistungsfähige Personenwagen, Flugmeilen bleiben bei den Mitarbeitenden etc.
Fehlende Anreize z.B. durch Arbeitgeber (Jobtickets, attraktive Veloangebote, kein Home -
Office o.ä.)
Schlecht e ÖV-Erschliessung von Firmenstandorte n
Flugreisen sind oft billiger als Zugreisen .
Vergleichsweise geringe Bedeutung der Energieeffizienz beim finalen Kaufentscheid des Fahr-
zeuges
Komfortaspekte des Automobils , die insbesondere im ländlichen Raum schwer zu ersetzen sind .
«Mach t der Gewohnheit», grosse Rolle von täglichen Routinen insbesondere im Pendler - und
Einkaufsverkehr
Informationsdefizite bei den Mobilitätsteilnehmenden in sämtlichen Bereichen
Treibstoffe sind in den CO 2-Zielvereinbarungen der (grossen) Unternehmen nicht abgedeckt.
Noch (zu) wenig kundenfreundliche, multimodale Mobilitätslösungen
Häufig wenig velofreundliche Infrastruktur
Teilweise geringe (politische) Akzeptanz der Massnahmen
Spezifischer Ausbildungsbedarf bei Garagisten und im Fahrzeughandel
Viele Leut e sind von ihrer Fahrweise überzeugt und für andere Handlungsweisen schwer er-
reichbar .
28
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
4.1.5 Energie - und klimapolitische Ziele und Massnahmen
Zur Verbesserung der Energieeffizienz in der Mobilität sind v.a. CO 2-Ziele wichtig. Diese beziehen
sich auf die Energieeffizienz der Transportmittel, d.h. auf die CO 2-Ziele für Fahrzeugflotten. Die
wichtigsten hoheitlichen Instrumente zur Erreichung der Ziele sind:
CO 2-Emissionsvorschriften für Personenwagen und leichte Nutzfahrzeuge: Die 2012 ein-
geführten CO 2-Emissionsvorschriften für neue Personenwagen und leicht e Nutzfahrzeuge sol-
len in Anlehnung an die EU weiter verschärft werden. Diese richten sich primär an die Import-
eure und Händler .
CO 2-Emissionsvorschriften und Reduktionsziele für schwere Nutzfahrzeuge : Aktuell dis-
kutieren die eidgenössischen Räte im Rahmen der Totalrevision des CO 2-Gesetzes CO 2-Flot-
tenzielwerte für schwere Nutzfahrzeuge in Anlehnung an die Vorgaben der EU.
Energieetikette und Deklarationsforschriften für Personenwagen und leichte Nutzfahr-
zeuge : Die Vorschriften zu den Angaben in der Werbung , Kommunikationskanälen und an Ver-
kaufspunkte n stellen eine transparente Information der Autokäuferinnen und Autokäufer über
Energieeffizienz, Verbrauch und CO 2-Emissionen von Fahrze ugen sicher. Dadurch werden die
Ziele einer Reduktion der CO 2-Emissionen und Steigerung der Energieeffizienz unterstützt .
Weitere hoheitliche Instrumente zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz im Mobilitätsbereich sind:
Die Schweiz verfügt über ein im intern ationalen Vergleich attraktives ÖV -Angebot , das von
der öffentlichen Hand gefördert wird.
Schwerverkehrsabgabe: Abgabe des Schwerverkehrs zur Deckung der Kosten zulasten der
Allgemeinheit und zur Verlagerung des Güterverkehrs auf die Bahn (Schwerverkehrsab gabe-
gesetz, SVAG) .
Es bestehen steuerliche Anreize für Elektro - und für Gasfahrzeuge (insbesondere die teil-
weise bis vollständige Befreiung von Treibstoffzollabgaben o.ä.).
Ebenfalls im Bereich der Güterlogistik fallen die Zufahrtsbeschränkungen in Innenstadtzonen
für die Anlieferung etc.
Chauffeur -Zulassungs -Verordnung CZV: Fahrer schwerer Nutzfahrzeuge müssen alle 5
Jahre Weiterbildungskurse nachweisen. Dabei können sie auch EcoDrive -Kurse besuchen .
Neulenkera usbildung . EcoDrive ist seit 2005 Teil der Neulenkerausbildung . 2018 wurde die
obligatorische Weiterbildung von zwei auf einen Tag gekürzt .
Der Bund erhält neu Kompetenzen zur Koordination und Förderung des Veloverkehrs :
Die Veloinfrastruktur dürfte mittel - bis längerfristig sicherer und durchgängiger und somit für
die Nutzenden attraktiver werden.
4.1.6 Verbleibende Herausforderungen
Die CO 2-Emissionsvorschriften für Personenwagen, leichte Nutzfahrzeuge und zukünftig vielleicht
auch schwere Nutzfahrzeuge richten sich primär an die Hersteller, Importeure und Händler der Fahr-
zeuge. EnergieSchweiz kann mit gezielten Information s- und Kommunikationsm assnahmen auf der
Nachfrageseite dazu beitragen, dass neue Technologien rascher Verbreitung finden und vermehrt
effizientere Fahrzeuge gekauft werden und die hoheitlichen Ziele erreicht werden. Zudem sollen mit
marktorientierten Projekten gezielt die notwendigen Rahmenbedingungen geschaffen werden, da-
mit sich neue Technologien und Mobilitätsformen im Alltag rascher etablieren können. 29
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Es bestehen grosse Poten ziale und es existieren innovative Lösungen für eine effizientere Mobilität .
Diese sind teilweise noch zu wenig bekannt, nicht marktgerecht , für den Handel zu wenig attraktiv
oder für die Nutzenden nicht komfortabel genug. Zudem erfordern sie oft Anpassungen von Ge-
wohnheiten .
Durch ganzheitliche Mobilitätskonzepte, neue Mobilitätsformen und multimodale Mobilitätsdienst-
leistungen kann die Mobilität insgesamt effizienter gestaltet werden. Hierzu ist eine Vernetzung von
Akteuren, die Schaffung der nötigen Plattformen und der richtigen Rahmenbedingungen zentral.
Zudem müssen auch die verschiedenen Bundesämter ihre Aktivitäten im Themengebiet Mobilität
noch besser aufeinander abstimmen und Herausforderungen gemeinsam angehen.
4.2 Ziele
Die Zielvorgaben des Energiegesetzes (Reduktion Energieverbrauch pro Person und Jahr gegen-
über dem Stand im Jahr 2000 bis zum Jahr 2035 um 43 Prozent, siehe Kapitel 2.1) sind ohne we-
sentliche Beitr äge im Mobilität sbereich nicht erreichbar. Freiwillige Massnahmen verbunden mit ge-
setzlichen Vorschriften können im Bereich Mobilität weitreichende Wirkung erzielen . Entsprechend
legte der Bundesrat in der Botschaft zum ersten Massnahmenpaket der Energiestrategie 205015 für
die Mobilität folgende Ziele fest:
Die Energieeffizienz von neuen Personenwagen, Lieferwagen und leichten Sattelschleppern
soll entsprechend dem Stand der Technik kontinuierlich verbessert werden
Der Energieverbrauch und die CO2 -Emissionen im Verkehrsbereich werden gegenüber der
bisherigen Energiepolitik (Szenario «Weiter wie bisher») massgeblich reduziert.
Zur Erreichung dieser Ziele sind die folgenden Massnahmen vorgesehen:
Verschärfung beziehungsweise Einführung von CO2-Emissionsvorschriften
Förderung alternativer Antriebe und Treibstoffe16
Unterstützende Massnahmen , die unter dem Dach von EnergieSchweiz umg esetzt werden.
EnergieSchweiz strebt an, einen wesentlichen Beitrag zum Erreichen diese r Ziele zu leisten . Dies
soll durch einen attraktiven Massnahmenmix bei den Zielgruppen Private (als Nutzende) und Unter-
nehmen (als Nutzende, Anbieter und Mittler) erreicht werden.
Die folgenden Ziele erfordern einen Massnahmenmix, der s ich einerseits an die Beschaffenden und
die Nutzenden und andererseits an die Anbietenden und an Mittler richtet.
15 Botschaft zum ersten Massnahmenpaket der Energiestrategie 2050 und zur Volksinitiative «Für den geordneten Auss tieg
aus der Atomenergie (Atomausstiegsinitiative)» vom 4. September 2013.
16 u.a. Roadmap Elektromobilität 2022 (siehe www.roadmap2022.ch ). 30
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Zur Zielerreichung sollen zwei auf den Neuwagenverkauf bezogene Ziele beitragen:
Anteil der Elektrofahrzeuge (BEV und PHEV) bei den Neuwagen beträgt bis 2030 38 Prozent17.
Durchschnittliche r CO 2-Ausstoss von neuen Personenwagen liegt im Jahr 2030 um 37.5 Pro-
zent tiefer als im Jahr 2021.18
Beim Mobilitäts - und Fahrv erhalten sollen folgende Ziele erreicht werden :
Beim Personenverkehr verschiebt sich der Modalsplit19 zu Gunsten energieeffizienter Trans-
portmittel und Transportlösungen (inkl. Carpooling) .
Anstieg des Besetzungsgrad s der Personenwagen. Zum Anstieg trägt insbesondere der Pend-
lerverkehr bei .
Bedeutender Anstieg bei der Nutzung von Sharing -Angeboten .
Der Anteil des Veloverkehrs beim Modalsplit nimmt zu, insbesondere bei Kurzstrecken bis 5
km steigt der Veloanteil im Modalsplit an.
Die Energieeffizienzp otenzi ale der Assistenzsysteme sind bekannt und werden genutzt. Die im
2030 aktiven Autolenker/innen kennen mehrere Einspar potenzial e und setzen mindestens eine
Massnahme selber um .
Ziele für die Zielgruppe Unternehmen :
Bei der unternehmensinduzierten Mobilität steigt die Energieeffizienz besonder s bei der Per-
sonen mobilität . Dabei wird auf den Pendlerverkehr, den Geschäftsverkehr und den Kunden -
und Besucherverkehr fokussiert . Diese Stossrichtung umfasst auch die Beschaffung, den Ein-
satz und den Unterhalt der Fahrzeugflotte .
Im Güterverkehr und der Logistik steigt die Energieeffizienz. Dabei wird auf die Flottenpolitik
bei leichten und schweren Nutzfahrzeugen, bei der Verkehrsträgerwahl in der Güterlogistik
sowie bei der energieeffizienten Citylogistik (eingebettet in Smart City -Konzepte) fokussiert.
4.3 Massnahmen
Zur Unterstützung einer energieeffizienten, ressourcen - und klimaschonenden Mobilität verfolgt
EnergieSchweiz zukünftig im Themengebiet Mobilität fünf Hauptstossrichtungen. Drei richten sich
an Pr ivate und z wei Hauptstossrichtungen sprechen explizit Unternehmen an. Die bisherigen Mas-
snahmenschwerpunkte von EnergieSchweiz in der Mobilität waren primär auf die Personenmobilität
ausgerichtet . Diese wird auch weiterhin eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Nebe n der Personenmobilität
soll neu zusätzlich die Energieeffizienz im Güterverkehr und in der Logistik als Schwerpunkt adres-
siert, aufgebaut und weiterentwickelt werden.

sowie Fuss - und Veloverkehr, an den zurückgelegten Distanzen. 31
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
4.3.1 Massnahmen Personenmobilität von Privaten
Die Massnahmen erster Priorität im Bereich Per sonenmobilität werden in folgende n Schwerpunk-
ten umgesetzt:
Mobilitätsverhalten: Wahl von energieeffizienten Transportmitteln und Mobilitätslösungen
Das grösste Einsparpotenzial besteht bei der Transportmittelwahl bzw. bei der optimalen , energie-
effizienten Verknüpfung und Kombination verschiedener Verkehrsmittel und -träger sowie Mobili-
tätslösungen. Das Ein sparpotenzial beträgt bis zu 100 Prozent , z.B. bei m Umsteigen vom Auto auf
das Velo. Bei anderen Massnahmen ist es geringer, z.B. mind. 50 Prozent beim Carpooling (Mitfah-
ren). Das Potenzial ist zum Teil rasch, aber nicht zwingend dauerhaft , realisierbar (z.B. abhängig
von der Witterung) . Zudem besteht für die Lösungen häufig eine eher geringe Akzeptanz , da Ver-
haltensänderungen nötig sind bzw. R outinen durchbrochen werden müssen, die für die Menschen
oft eine grosse Bedeutung haben . Zudem setzen Anpas sungen beim Mobilitätsverhalten oft eine
Kombination mehrerer Massnahmen voraus, insb esondere die geschickte Kombination von Push -
(Parkplatzmanagement ) und Pull-Massnah men (attraktives ÖV -Angebot) .
Bei der Umsetzung und Förderung werden Massnahmen (v.a. neue , innovative Lösungen , verbes-
serte Informations - und Beratungs angebote sowie Sensibilisierungsmassnahmen ) in folgende n
Massnahmenschwerpunkte n im Mittelp unkt stehen:
Erleichterung der multimodalen Mobilität bzw. Attraktivitätssteigerung von multimodalen, ener-
gieeffizienten Mobilitätsketten zur intelligente n Kombination von A ktivverkehr (Velo, Fussver-
kehr) sowie ÖV- und MIV -Angeboten
Förderungen der kollaborativen Mobilität (Sharing, Pooling) bzw. Teilen von Fahrzeugen und
Fahrten
Förderung des Aktivverkehrs (Fuss - und Veloverkehr ), insbesondere der Velonutzung durch
die Unterstützung attraktiver Angebote (Aus -/Weiterbildung, Animationsangebote) und mittels
Informations - und Kommunikationskampagnen
Verkehrsreduktion und Verkehrs vermeidung , beispielsweise durch virtuelle Mobilität , Cowor-
king, mobiles Arbeiten bzw . Homeoffice
Kaufverhalten: Unterstützung des Kaufentscheids hin zu energieeffizienten Fahrzeugen und
Modellen mit alternative n Antriebe n (inkl. Infrastruktur )
Beim Kauf eines neuen Personenwagens oder leichten Nutzfahrzeugs beträgt das Effizienz potenzial
bis zu 50 Prozent . Das Potenzial ist wegen der hohen Fahrzeuglebensdauer und der geringen Erneu-
erungsrate der Fahrzeugflotte jedoch eher längerfristig voll realisierbar. Im Bereich Kaufverhalten be-
stehen auf gesetzlicher Ebene mit den CO 2-Emissionsvorschriften, der Energieetikette und den CO 2-
Kompensationsmassnahmen hoheitliche Instrumente. Die Fahrzeugbr anche hat dadurch bereits ein
Interesse an der Steigerung der Energieeffizienz von neuen Fahrzeugen. Zudem w erden zusammen
mit der Branch e und den Akteuren der öffentlichen Hand unterstützende Massnahmen lanciert (Bei-
spiel Roadmap Elektromobilität 2022) , die insbesondere auf optimale Rahmenbedingungen für ener-
gieeffiziente Antriebstechnologien wie beispielsweise die Elektromobilität fokussi eren.
32
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Bei der Umsetzung bzw. Förderungsmassnahmen stehen folgende Stossrichtungen im Mitte lpunkt:
Sensibilisierung, Kommunikation und Information von Privatpersonen, damit der Kaufentscheid
zugunsten eines energieeffizienten Fahrzeug s ausfällt (neue Personenwagen und leichte
Nutzfahrzeuge) und der Betrieb dieser Fahrzeuge durch erneuerbare Energieträger erfolgt .
Förderung der Energieeffizienz über alle Antriebstechnologien hinweg durch Informations - und
Sensibilisierungsmassnahmen sowie der Aus - und Weiterbildung des Garagen - und Automo-
bilgewerbes.
Förderung alternativer , energieeffizeinter und klimaschonender Antriebe inkl. Treibstoffe durch
Informations - und Beratungsangebote sowie die Schaffung förderlicher Rahmenbedingungen
(insbesondere für die (Lade -)Infrastruktur) sowie Unterstützung bei der Koordination der dabei
involvierten Stakeholder der Privatwirtschaft und der öffentliche n Hand
In zweiter Priorität werden Massnahmen in folgendem Schwerpunkt umgesetzt:
Fahrverhalten /effizientes Fahre n: Energieeffizienter Einsatz der Fahrzeuge
Fahrzeuglenkende können mit ihrem Fahrstil , der optimalen Ausrüstung und dem richtigen Fahr-
zeugunterhalt den Treibstoffverbrauch um rund 20 Prozent reduzie ren oder im Fall eines Elek tro-
fahrzeuges ihre Reichweite markant erhöhen . Dies ist mit einfachen Informations -, Sensibilisie-
rungs - sowie Aus - und Weiterbildungsm assnahmen rasch umsetzbar und stösst auf eine breite Ak-
zeptanz. Da sich diese Massnahme an alle Fahrzeug fahrende richtet, kann eine grosse Zielgruppe
angesprochen werden. Die Wirkungen sind aber erst dann dauerhaft, wenn die Massnahmen auch
zur Gewohnheit werden.
Es gibt Massnahmen auf gesetzlicher Ebene (Chauffeurzulassungsverordnung CZV, Zweiphasen-
ausbildung für Neulenkende), die das energieeffiziente F ahrverhalten unterstützen. Das grösste Po-
tenzial besteht insgesamt daher bei erfahrenen Lenkern , die den Fahrausweis vor mehr als 10 Jah-
ren erlangt haben .
Mit der technologischen Entwicklung nimmt die Anzahl Assistenzsysteme zu. Diese unterstützen
die Lenk ende n beim Fahren und tragen teilweise zur Verbrauchsreduktion bei . Gleichzeitig wird d as
Potenzial von EcoDrive -Ausbildungen reduzier t. Dennoch besteht nach wie vo r ein erhebliches Ein-
sparpotenzial von rund 20 %.
Bei der Umsetzung und Förderung werden folgende Stossrichtungen im Mittelpunkt stehen:
Durchführung von Informations - und Sensibilisierungsk ampagnen und anderen Kommunikati-
onsa ktionen sowie Ausbildungen zur Verbreitung der Eco -Drive -Fahrweise sowie eines effi-
zienten Fahrzeugunterhalts
Bereitste llung von Hilfsmittel n zur Unterstützung der Ausbildenden (Fahrschulen, Experten etc.)
Informations -, Sensibilisierungs - sowie Aus - und Weiterbildungsmassnahmen zur Verbesse-
rung des Fahrzeugunterhalt s und der Ausrüstung der Fahrzeuge
Sensibilisierung und Information des Garagen - und Automobil gewerbes
Das Einspar potenzial wird mit der zunehmende n Verbreitung von Assistenzsystemen und teilauto-
matisierter Fahrzeuge abnehmen . Entsprechend wird auch die Priorität dieses Massnahmen-
schwerpunktes zwischen 2021 und 30 tendenziell abnehmen. 33
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
4.3.2 Massnahmen Personen - und Gütermobilität im Unternehmen
Massnahmen in folgenden Schwerpunkten werden in erster Priorität umgesetzt:
Energieeffiziente Mobilität in Unternehmen
Unternehmen verfügen in der von ihnen induzierten Mobilität über ein hohes Potenzial zur Steige-
rung der Energieeffizienz . Dieses wird in absehbarer Zukunft weder durch sich ändernde wirtschaft-
liche Rahmenbedingungen noch durch regulatorische Instrumente abgedeckt . Dazu zählt i nsbeson-
dere der Einfluss der Unternehmen auf das Mobilitätsverhalten der Mitarbeitenden , sowohl beim
Geschäftsverkehr als auch beim Pendlerverkehr. Zudem kann durch die Beschaffung von Flotten-
fahrzeugen mit alternativen Antrieben die Energieeffizienz erhöht und den Mitarbeitenden die nötige
Infrastruktur zur Verfügung gestellt werden . Mit Mobilitätsmanagement, insbesondere bei einem gut
abgestimmten Instrumentenmix bestehend aus Push - und Pull -Massnahmen, kann der unterneh-
mens induzierte Energieverbrauch der Mobilität um 10 Prozent und mehr reduziert werden . Konkret
sollen Aktivitäten in den folgenden von Unternehmen beeinflussbaren Verkehrszwecken aufg ebaut
bzw. weiterentwickelt werden:
Pendlerverkehr : Unternehmen haben einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Verkehrsmittelwahl,
die ÖV-Nutzung und die Fahrzeugauslastung beim Pendlerverkehr ihrer Mitarbeitenden. An-
knüpfungspunkte sind der Einbezug des Aktivv erkehrs (v.a. Velo), die Parkplatzbewirtschaf-
tung und -bepreisung, die Anbindung an den öffentlichen Verkehr und Vergünstigungen bei
Abonnementen, die Förderung von Angeboten im Bereich Carsharing und Carpooling sowie
Softmassnahmen wi e Flexib ilisierung de r Arbeitszeiten, das Ermöglichen von Homeoffice so-
wie die Beteiligung an wohnortnahen Coworking -Spaces. Auch die Bereitstellung von Ladein-
frastruktur für E -Fahrzeuge auf Mitarbeiter -, Kunden - und Besucherparkplätzen kann Anreize
für energieeffiziente Fahrz euge setzen.
Geschäftsverkehr: Unternehmen haben einen grossen Einfluss, den Geschäftsverkehr (z.B.
durch Monteure, Verkaufspersonal etc.) energieeffizient zu betreiben. Dies betrifft u.a. die effi-
ziente Flottenpolitik der eigenen Fahrzeugflotte (inkl. de r Beschaffung der Fahrzeuge), einen
effizienten Betrieb der Flotte, die Nutzung innovativer Kommunikationsmittel zum Ersatz von
Dienst - und Geschäftsreisen und die Nutzung von multimodalen Mobilitätsdienstleistungen.
Kunden - und Besucherverkehr : Unternehmen können hier durch zahlreiche eigene Aktivitä-
ten wie Parkplatzbewirtschaftung, ÖV-Anbindung, Lieferservices etc. zu einer Reduktion des
Energie - und Platzverbrauchs beitragen. Hierbei spielen Standortentscheide , insbesondere bei
publikumsinten siven Einrichtungen , bereits in der Planungsphase eine zentrale Rolle für eine
möglichst en ergieeffiziente Erschliessung.
EnergieSchweiz unterstützt die Unternehmen in ihren Entscheiden im Bereich Mobilität durch fol-
gende Massnahmen :
Information und Kommu nikation (Kampagnen, Analyseinstrumente, Auszeichnungen, Werk-
zeugkoffer) sowie Bereitstellen von Entscheid ungs grundlagen für Unternehmen
Instruktion , Information sowie Aus - und Weiterbildung von Personen mit mobilitätsrelevanten
Funktionen (Flottenverantwo rtliche, Facility -Manager, HR/Dienstreisereglement)
Entwicklung und Unterstützung von innovativen Projekten und attraktiven Angeboten
Beratung und unabhängige Qualitätssicherung . 34
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Energieeffizienz im Güterverkehr und der Logistik
Unternehmen verfügen über ein hohes Potenzial zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz im Güterver-
kehr und der Logistik, welches in absehbarer Zukunft weder durch sich ändernde wirtschaftliche
Rahmenbedingungen noch regulatorische Instrumente ausreichend abgedeckt wird. Aktivitäten von
EnergieSchweiz fokussier en vor allem auf folgende Elemente:
Flottenpolitik bei leichten und schweren Nutzfahrzeugen : gezielte Berücksichtigung effizi-
enter Fahrzeuge und Antriebe, Unterstützung und Koordination für die Bereitstellung der ent-
sprechenden Lade - und Tankstelleninfrastruktur
Verkehrsträgerwahl in der Güterlogistik : entscheidenden Einfluss hat hier der Einbezug des
Schienengüterverkehrs sowie des kombinierten Verkehrs in die Logistik (kein direkter Schwer-
punkt von EnergieSchweiz , Federführung bei der Verlagerungspolitik hat das Bundesamt für
Verkehr BAV )
Energieeffiziente Logistik und Citylogistik eingebettet z.B. in Smart City Konzepte: durch
den Einsatz von intelligenten Logistikkonzepten insbesondere in der Feinverteilung durch den
Einbezug moderner Pooling -Konzepte, den Einsatz von E -Cargo -Bikes und weiteren innovati-
ven Fahrzeugkonzepten lassen sich erhebliche Effizienzpotenziale bei der zunehmend an Be-
deutung gewinnenden Belieferung von Endkonsumenten realisieren.
Für EnergieSchweiz stellt dies ein neue s Themenfeld dar, das bisher erst wenig bearbeitet wurde
und daher in einem ersten Schritt vertieft analysiert wird mit dem Ziel, P rioritäten zu setzen . An-
schliessend sind folgende Massnahmen vorgesehen:
EnergieSchweiz informiert in Zusamme narbeit mit Partnern die Unternehmen mittels Kampag-
nen und zielführenden Informationsinstrumente n in ihren Entscheiden im Bereich Güter -Mobi-
lität. Zudem unterstützt EnergieSchweiz die Wirtschaft sakteure bei der Entwicklung von ziel-
führenden Analyseinstrumenten .
Entwicklung und Unterstützung von innovativen Projekten und Lösungen
Vermittlung von Expertise , Beratung , Aus - und Weiterbildungsangeboten sowie unabhängige
Qualitätssicherung .
Bei den unternehmensfokussierten Massnahmenschwerpunkten k ommt der Einbettung dieser Akti-
vitäten in die weiteren unternehmensorientierten Kanäle der anderen Schwerpunkte von Energie-
Schweiz besondere Bedeutung zu.
35
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
4.3.3 Massnahmen zur Förderung von Innovationen
Massnahmen in diesem Bereich werden in erster Priorität umgesetzt:
Der Mobilitätsbereich steht vor grossen Veränderungen und Herausforderungen . Der Anstoss und
die Akquisition von neuen Ideen und die Unterstützung innovativer Projekte im Mobilitätsbereich
wird auch für EnergieSchweiz eine zentrale Querschnittsaufgabe darstellen. Dies kann einerseits
durch neue Partnerschaften mit Start -ups und innovativen Marktakteuren geschehen wie auch durch
Initiierung von neuen Ideen in definierten Schwerpunktfeldern. Diese Ideen können anschliessend
durch Markt akteure mit der Unterstützung durch EnergieSchweiz (finanziell, kommunikativ oder in-
haltlich) weiterentwickelt , zur Marktreife gebracht und gezielt verbreitet werden. Mit folgende n Ele-
mente n sollen innovative Projekte gezielt gefördert werden :
Betrieb und Weiterentwicklung einer Anlauf - und Koordinations stelle, die in Abstimmung
mit anderen Bundesstellen innovative Projekte ämterübergreifend fördern kann. Die gute
und gezielte Koordination und Abstimmung der jeweils betroffenen Ämter verbessert die Nut-
zung der vorhandene n Potenzial e. Die Anlaufstelle stellt als Wissensplattform den Marktakteu-
ren Informationen zur Verfügung und fördert den Austausch unter den Akteuren. Innovative
Projekte werden finanziell sowie mit Fachwissen unterstützt. Durch das Fest legen von Mass-
nahmen -Schwerpunkten können Fokusthemen bewusst priorisiert und gefördert werden. Zu-
dem wird die Ab stimmung zu Förderinstrumenten mit Fokus Technologie sichergestellt .
Unterstützung von mehrjährigen Feldexperimenten (Mobility Labs) zur Förderung von inno-
vativen Mobilitätsmassnahmen für definierte Zielgruppen bzw. in konkreten Aktionsfeldern.
Durch die mehrjährige Unterstützung von EnergieSchweiz können neue Wege ausserhalb be-
stehender Rahmen und Prozesse modellhaft beschritten und innovative Ansätze getestet so-
wie deren Wirkung gemessen werden . Best Practices dienen anschliessend als Basis für Ak-
tivitäten weiterer Marktakteure.
4.3.4 Synergien mit Aktivitäten und Massnahmen weiterer Handlungsfelder und Schwer-
punkte von Ener gieSchweiz
Die Förderung einer energieeffizienten Mobilität weis t erhebliche Synergien zu Massnahmen weite-
rer zentraler Handlungsfelder wie de n Gebäude n, den Anlagen und Prozesse n in Industrie und
Dienstleistungen , wie auch zu verschiedenen Querschnittsthe men, insbesondere Städte, Gemeinde
und Regionen auf.
Gemeinde, Städte und Regionen sind für die lokale Planung sowie die Verkehrsinfrastruktur und
das Verkehrsangebot verantwortlich und spielen eine wichtige Rolle als Multiplikatoren und Mittler
von mobil itätsrelevanten Effizienzmassnahmen. Eine aktive Zusammenarbeit mit diesen Stakehol-
dern ist eine wichtige Chance für breit vernetzte und abgestützte Effizienzmassnahmen.
36
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Anlagen und Prozesse in Industrie und Dienst-
leistungen
Das zentrale Handlungsfeld «Anlagen und Prozesse in Industrie und Dienstleistungen» deckt dieje-
nigen Technologien und Anwendungen ab, die für Unternehmen spezifisch sind und sich somit auch
klar von denjenigen der privaten Haushalte unterscheiden. Konkret sind das thermische und elekt-
romechanische Prozesse, Anlagen und Geräte (inklusive IKT, Kälte und Beleuchtung), wie sie etwa
in der Produktion eingesetzt werden oder nur in der Infrastruktur von Unternehmen anzutreffen sind.
Nicht Teil des zentralen Handlu ngsfelds sind die Unternehmensmobilität und der Gebäudebereich
sowie die Nutzung und Produktion von erneuerbaren Energien, wie sie in dieser Form nur direkt in
Unternehmen möglich sind, etwa mit Hochtemperaturwärmepumpen, welche die interne Prozess-
abwärme nutzen, oder durch den Einsatz von Biogas und Energieholz. Landwirtschaftsbetriebe wer-
den ebenfalls berücksichtigt. Diese Aspekte werden im Kapitel 4 «Mobilität von Pr ivaten und Unter-
nehmen» und im Kapitel 6.1 «Gebäude und erneuerbare Energie in Industrie und Dienstleistungen»
behandelt. Die Marktbearbeitung bzw. die Umsetzung der en tsprechenden Massnahmen für Indust-
rie und Dienstleistungen soll jedoch koordiniert und möglichst alle Aspekte umfassend erfolgen.
In der Regel ist es zielführender, bestimmte Unternehmen oder Branchen über Anlagen und Pro-
zesse hinaus gleichzeitig auch zu Gebäuden, erneuerbaren Energien und Mobilität zu informieren
und zu beraten. Das insbesondere, weil dadurch aus einem systemischen Ansatz optimale Lösun-
gen gefunden werden können . Dies bedeutet aber nicht, dass nicht auch Massnahmen umgesetzt
werden, die s pezifisch auf Anlagen und Prozesse fokussieren.
Infrastrukturbetriebe der öffentlichen Hand und Energieversorgungsunternehmen als Produzenten
erneuerbarer Energien schliesslich sind nicht Teil dieses Handlungsfelds ( vgl. dafür Kapitel 6.3).
5.1 Ausgangslage
5.1.1 Energieverbrauch
Rund 38 Prozent der in der Schweiz verbrauchten Energie wird in den Sektoren Industrie, Dienst-
leistungen und Landwirtschaft eingesetzt (Verwendungszweck statistik BFE 2017, S. 38 ). Dies ent-
spricht rund 81 TWh , dies ohne Energieverbrauch der Mobilität der Unternehmen (vgl. zur Mobilität
Kapitel 4.1). Unternehmen verbrauchen viel Elektrizität, also eine besonders hochwertige Energie-
form: Über 60 Prozent des Stroms in der Schweiz wird von Unternehmen verbraucht (2017 rund 36
TWh ( 128 PJ )). Der grösste Teil des Verbrauchs fällt bei den «Anlagen und Prozesse n in Industrie
und Dienstleistungen» an: Die entsprechenden Technologien und Anwendungen benötigen jährlich
über 23 Prozent der Energie und über 50 Prozent der Elektrizität, die in der Sch weiz verbraucht
werden (50 TWh bzw. 29 TWh Strom ). Das Potenzial der Produktion und grösstenteils der eigenen
Nutzung von erneuerbaren Energien durch für Unternehmen spezifische Anlagen kann auf rund 7
TWh geschätzt werden (Eicher +Pauli 2018).

Quelle: BFE, 2011, Stromeffizienz im Industrie - und Dienstleistungssektor: Schlussbericht der Arbeitsgruppe.
Die Unternehmen können nach Energieverbrauch und Energiekosten in «grosse», «mittlere» und
«kleine» Unternehmen unterteilt werden ( vgl. Tabelle 3). Dabei wird angenommen, dass Elektrizi-
tätsverbrauch und thermischer Energieverbrauch korrespondieren und sich keine wesentlichen Ver-
schiebungen bei der Anzahl Unternehmen in den verschiedenen Grössenklassen ergeben:
Die «grossen» Unternehmen (>500 MWh el oder 5 000 MWh th oder jährlichen Energiekosten
von über CHF 300 000) umfassen heute rund 10 000 bis 12 000 Unternehmen. Sie können
sich durch eine Zielvereinbarung von Detailvorsch riften der Kantone (vgl. kantonale Grossver-
braucherartikel gemäss EnG Art. 46 Abs. 3 ) und/oder von der CO 2-Abgabe befreien bzw. den
Netzzuschlag rückerstatten lassen (bzw. unterstehen teilweise dem Emissionshandel). Die
grossen Unternehmen sind für einen A nteil von rund 60 Prozent (ohne Treibstoffe) des Ener-
gieverbrauchs der Unternehmen verantwortlich.
Die Gruppe der «mittleren » Unternehmen (100 –500 MWh el oder jährlichen Energiekosten zwi-
schen CHF 20 000 und 300 000) betrifft ca. 80 000 Unternehmen mit eine m Energiever-
brauchsanteil von rund 30 Prozent. Im Vergleich zu den grossen Unternehmen haben diese
Unternehmen weniger Fachkompetenzen und Ressourcen und weniger Anreize durch ener-
gie- und klimapolitische Massnahmen wie Rückerstattung der CO 2-Abgabe und de s Netzzu-
schlags oder der Erfüllung des Grossverbraucherartikels der Kantone.
Die Gruppe der «kleinen » Unternehmen (< 100 MWh el oder jährliche Energiekosten von
< CHF 20 000) umfasst mehr als 400 000 Unternehmen mit einem Energieverbrauchsanteil
von rund 1 0 Prozent. Neben einem vergleichsweise geringen Energieverbrauchsanteil sind sie
aufgrund anderer Prioritäten sehr schwierig für Investitionen in Energieeffizienz und erneuer-
bare Energien zu motivieren. In ihrem Energieverbrauchsverhalten sind sie zu einem grossen
Teil mit privaten Haushalten vergleichbar, zusätzlich verfügen sie über gewerbliche Geräte.

Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
5.1.2 Trends
Untern ehmen der Industrie und der Dienstleistungen konnten die Energieeffizienz bereits steigern
und namentlich auch die CO 2-Intensität verringern – letzteres auch durch die Substitution von Öl zu
Gas, zu Energieholz, zu Fernwärme oder zu Strom und Umweltwärme. Künftig zeichnen sich fol-
gende Trends ab:
Grundsätzlich ist davon auszugehen, dass sowohl die Dekarbonisierung als au ch die Elektrifi-
zierung weiter zunehmen werden . Neue Anlagen und Prozesse werden noch stärker automa-
tisiert, digitalisiert und auf elektrischen Antrieben und Informations - und Kommunikationstech-
nologien basieren.
Dank technischem Fortschritt und Skaleneff ekten verbessert sich die Wirtschaftlichkeit von er-
neuerbaren Energien und von energieeffizienten Technologien. Neue Marktakteure und Ange-
bote in der stärker dezentralisierten und vernetzten Energiewirtschaft erlauben es den Unter-
nehmen, mit eigener Produk tion und gesteuertem Verbrauch zu stabilen dezentralen Energie-
systemen beizutragen.
Durch die zunehmend liberalisierten Energiemärkte sowie die technischen Möglichkeiten der
Digitalisierung, können die Unternehmen auch auf Innovationszyklen und technologi sche Um-
brüche reagieren , die in immer kürzeren Zeitspannen stattfinden.
Der gesellschaftliche und politische Druck für Klimaschutz, Energieeffizienz un d erneuerbare
Energien nimmt zu. Unternehmen engagieren sich stärker, weil das den Vorgaben der interna-
tionalen und nationalen Klima - und Energiepolitiken entspricht (zu den gesetzlichen Rahmen-
bedingungen vgl. weiter unten) und weil die Konsumenten dies fordern. Durch eigene Beiträge,
die über die minimalen Vorgaben der Politik hinausgehen, können sich Unter nehmen gegen-
über den Kunden profilieren.
5.1.3 Potenziale
Anlagen und Prozesse in der Industrie und in Dienstleistungen verfügen über ein hohes Effizienz-
potenzial, das mit bestehenden Technologien und grösstenteils wirtschaftlich ausgeschöpft werden
kann.
Bei der Prozesswärme (Industrie) sind Einsparungen von 30 bis 35 Prozent realistisch, bei
elektromechanischen Antrieben und Prozessen solche von 20 bis 25 Prozent.
Bei den Informations - und Kommunikationstechnologien (Rechenzentren) können über 35 Pro-
zent ein gespart werden («efficiency in ICT»), wobei diese Technologien auch dazu dienen, in
anderen Anwendungen Energie einzusparen («efficiency through ICT»).
Die Beleuchtung kann mit LED und Sensorik zwischen 50 und 75 Prozent des verbrauchten
Stroms einsparen.
Insgesamt gibt es in der Industrie grosse Potenziale bei der Energieeffizienz, den elektrischen An-
triebssystemen und der Wärmerückgewinnung respektive Abwärmenutzung . Im Dienstleistungssektor
liegen die Potenziale eher bei der ICT und den Infrastrukturan lagen wie Lüftungen, Klimakälte und
Beleuchtung. Weitere Potenzial e ergeben sich durch die Nutzung von erneuerbaren Energien sowie
von Fern - und Nahwärme. Diese gilt es im Hinblick auf die Dekarbonisierung vermehrt auszuschöpfen. 39
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
5.1.4 Hemmnisse
Grundsätzlich haben die Unternehmen ein Interesse, wirtschaftliche Effizienzmassnahmen zu rea-
lisieren und erneuerbare Energien zu nutzen. Dies gelingt jedoch oft nicht. Die Haupthemmnisse für
die Ausschöpfung der Potenziale sind:
Es fehlen die Kompetenz en und die Zeit f ür die Analyse der ökonomischen Potenziale oder die
ökonomischen Potenziale sind angesichts der geringen Bedeutung der Energiekosten für die
Unternehmen zweitrangig.
Es bestehen betriebliche und organisatorische Hemmnisse, etwa die Vermeidung einer Stö-
rung des Produktionsprozesses oder unterschiedliche Verantwortlichkeiten für Investition und
Unterhalt/Betrieb.
Investitionsentscheide werden oft kurzfristig getroffen. Die Energieeffizienz steht dann nicht im
Fokus, sondern eine möglichst identische Ersatzbes chaffung der bisherigen Technologien. Die
Investitionen werden nicht auf der Basis des gesamten Lebenszyklus (Life Cycle Costs) be-
wertet . Damit werden Energieeffizienz - und Einsparpotenziale nicht ausgeschöpft – was sich
etwa in Ausschreibungen zeigt, die oft den Einkaufspreis zu stark gewichten bzw. die Betriebs-
kosten nicht berücksichtigen.
Oft mangelt es a n Wissen über das vorhandene Angebot oder an Vertrauen in eine neue,
besonders effiziente Technologie, weil konkrete Anwendungsbeispiele oder der Zugang zu Be-
ratung fehlen.
Im Zusammenhang mit der Betriebsoptimierung fehlt die Sensibilisierung des Managements
und des Betriebspersonals, bzw. den Massnahmen wird zu wenig Priorität eingeräumt. Das
Bewusstsein für das Potenzial und eine Berechnung des Kosten -Nutzen -Verhältnisses fehlen.
Die Unterstützung durch die Hersteller der Anlagen und Lieferanten bleibt in der Phase der
Betriebsoptimierung in der Regel aus.
Schliesslich bestehen auch bei Mittlern und Multiplikatoren Hemmnisse. Mittler stehen in direk-
tem Kontakt mit den Unternehmen und können sich mit zielführenden Dienstleistungen bei
ihrer Kundschaft einen Vorteil verschaffen. Multiplikatoren sind Organisationen und Unterneh-
men, die bereits über enge Kontakte zu Unternehmen verfügen, in diesen aber nicht Massnah-
men umsetzen oder begleiten. Für Mittler und Multiplikatoren stehen die Themen Energieeffi-
zienz und erneuerbare Energien oft noch nicht im Fokus, sie verfügen über knappe Ressour-
cen und/oder Know -how.
5.1.5 Energie - und klimapolitische Ziele und Massnahm en
Das Energiegesetz formuliert kein verbindliches Ziel für die Energieeffizienz von Anlagen und Prozes-
sen oder die Produktion und Nutzung von erneuerbaren Energien durch Unternehmen. Im CO 2-Ge-
setz ist kein Ziel für Unternehmen definiert. Möglich ist jedoc h, dass der Bundesrat in der CO 2-Verord-
nung zukünftig ein Ziel für die Industrie definiert. Aufgrund der grossen Bedeutung der Anlagen und
Prozesse für den Energieverbrauch und insbesondere für den Stromverbrauch, geht EnergieSchweiz
davon aus, dass die Un ternehmen – und dabei insbesondere die Grossverbraucher sowie die mittleren
Unternehmen – mindestens alle wirtschaftlichen Effizienz potenzial e ausschöpfen müssen. Dies ge-
rade auch in der Stromeffizienz, weil die Unternehmen in der Schweiz den grössten Teil des Stroms
verbrauchen und die Nachfrage nach Strom in allen Sektoren grundsätzlich steigen wird. 40
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Es bestehen bereits eine Reihe von energie - und klimapolitischen Massnahmen zu Anlagen und
Prozessen in Industrie und Dienstleistungsunternehmen:
Grössere Un ternehmen sind entweder in das Emissionshandelssystem eingebunden oder dem
kantonalen Grossverbraucherartikel unterstellt. Sie haben zudem die Möglichkeit, sich erstens
von der CO 2-Abgabe befreien zu lassen, wenn sie sich verpflichten, Emissionen zu vermin dern.
Zweitens können sie mit einer Zielvereinbarung auch den Netzzuschlag zurückerstatten las-
sen. Diese Massnahmen zielen in erster Linie auf wirtschaftliche Massnahmen in den Unter-
nehmen, wobei traditionell in Zielvereinbarungen und damit verbundenen Ene rgieverbrauchs-
analysen eher Massnahmen im Bereich Brennstoffe im Vordergrund stehen. Da die Massnah-
men über einen längeren Zeitpunkt vereinbart werden und bei Nichteinhaltung der Zielverein-
barung Sanktionen drohen, gelingt es jedoch oft nicht, alle wirtsch aftlichen Massnahmen der
Unternehmen zu realisieren.
Für serienmässig hergestellte Geräte und Anlagen gibt es energetische Vorschriften (Mindest-
anforderungen an die Effizienz, Deklaration der Effizienz und des Verbrauchs). Damit wird der
Bestand von Geräten, Anlagen und Komponenten von Anlagen durch Neu - und Ersatzanschaf-
fungen mit der Zeit effizienter. Sie können aber nicht gewährleisten, dass jeweils das effizien-
teste und wirtschaftlichste Gerät bzw. Anlage beschafft wird, zudem bleiben sie auf der Ebene
der einzelnen Komponenten und fördern nicht den Systemansatz.
Es gibt eine Reihe von Förderprogrammen, namentlich für die Produktion von erneuerbaren
Energien (KEV, Investitionsbeiträge, Einmalvergütungen), für stromeffi ziente Anlagen und Ge-
räte (die wettbewerblichen Ausschreibungen/ProKilowatt) und für CO 2-Kompensationen. Die-
sen Förderprogrammen ist gemeinsam, dass sie unwirtschaftliche Massnahmen näher an die
Wirtschaftlichkeit führen. Sie decken damit Investitionen ab, die nicht unter die Vorschrif ten
fallen. Die Reichweite der Förderprogramme ist jedoch begrenzt.
5.1.6 Verbleibende Herausforderungen
Die bestehenden energie - und klimapolitischen Massnahmen können die oben genannten Hemm-
nisse nur teilweise überwinden. Bei den grossen Unternehmen können Zie lvereinbarungen und da-
mit verbundene Energieverbrauchsanalysen komplexe und systemische Massnahmen von Produk-
tionsprozessen, Wärme - und Kältesystemen oder Systemen elektrischer Antriebe nicht abdecken.
Dasselbe trifft für Massnahmen zur Betriebsoptimierung zu, die regelmässig durchgeführt werden
müssen. Bei den mittleren Unternehmen sind die Hemmnisse noch ausgeprägter, weil diese nicht
von Anreizen zur Rückerstattung der CO 2-Abgabe oder des Netzzuschlags profitieren können und
somit auch keine Zielvereinba rungen mit einer Energieverbrauchsanalyse eingehen. Zudem haben
mittlere und kleinere Unternehmen oft kein eigenes technisches Personal für komplexe Anlagen und
Prozesse. Der Energieeffizienz wird aus Zeitgründen noch weniger Priorität eingeräumt als bei g ros-
sen Unternehmen. Schliesslich sind Vorschriften und Förderprogramme keine Selbstläufer. Neben
der Information braucht es auch genügend ausgebildete Fachkräfte, die kompetente Beratung bie-
ten und Massnahmen umsetzen können.
Insgesamt müssen die regulativ en und finanziellen Instrumente deshalb durch EnergieSchweiz mit
Information, Beratung, Aus - und Weiterbildung flankiert und ergänzt werden. EnergieSchweiz zielt
im zentralen Handlungsfeld «Anlagen und Prozesse in Industrie und Dienstleistungen» vor allem
darauf, die Defizite von Unternehmen bei der Information, dem Wissen und der Sensibilisierung
abzubauen und neue Lösungen zu unterstützen. Damit sollen insbesondere die mit der Umsetzung
von Energieeffizienzmassnahmen und der Nutzung von erneuerbaren Energ ien verbundenen
Transaktionskosten der Unternehmen verringert werden. 41
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
5.2 Ziele
5.2.1 Unternehmen
Die Wirkungsziele von EnergieSchweiz im zentralen Handlungsfeld «Anlagen und Prozesse in In-
dustrie und Dienstleistungen» müssen je nach Grösse des Unternehmens unterschiedlich formuliert
werden. Der Grund dafür liegt in den oben beschriebenen unterschiedlichen Hemmnissen, Prioritä-
ten und Ressourcen sowie energie - und klimapolitischen Vorgaben.
«Grosse» Unternehmen (>500 MWh el oder 5 000 MWh th oder jä hrlichen Ener giekosten über
CHF 300 000) stellen die prioritäre Zielgruppe dar. Bei den grossen Unternehmen wird davon aus-
gegangen, dass sie über ein Mindestmass an Ressourcen, Kapazitäten und Erfahrung im Bereich
Energieeffizienz verfügen. Die Unternehmen sind grundsä tzlich in der Lage, einfachere Massnah-
men («low hanging fruits») zu realisieren, was aufgrund der gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen zu
einem bedeutenden Teil auch erfolgt. EnergieSchweiz verfolgt die folgenden Ziele:
Grosse Unternehmen nutzen weitgehend alle wirtschaftlichen Effizienzpotenziale, darunter
sämtliche einfache n Massnahmen und speziell auch solche in komplexen Anlagen und Pro-
zessen und im Betrieb, die nicht im Rahmen von Zielvereinbarungen abgedeckt sind.
Sie setzen vermehrt erneuerbare Energien ein.
Grosse Unternehmen führen systematisch und kontinuierlich Betriebsoptimierung en sowie ver-
tiefte Analysen der Anlagen und Prozesse durch.
Sie nutzen die Potenziale der Digitalisierung und verbessern die Effizienz der unternehmens-
eigenen IKT.
«Mittlere » Unternehmen (100 –500 MWh el oder jährliche Energiekosten zwischen CHF 20 000 und
300 000) verfügen im Vergleich zu den grossen Unternehmen über weniger Ressourcen und tiefere
gesetzliche Auflagen für Energieeffizienz und die Nutzung von erneuerbaren Energi en. Energie-
Schweiz verfolgt die folgenden Ziele:
Mittlere Unternehmen sind generell über Energieeffizienz und erneuerbare Energien informiert,
lassen sich beraten, sind für die Umsetzung von Massnahmen sensibilisiert und setzen diese
auch um.
Sie realisier en möglichst alle einfache n Massnahmen («low hanging fruits»).
Wenn m ittlere Unternehmen die einfachen Massnahmen realisiert haben, verfolgen sie diesel-
ben Ziele wie die grossen Unternehmen.
«Kleine » Unternehmen (< 100 MWh el oder jährliche Energiekosten vo n < CHF 20 000) werden aus
Kosten -Nutzen -Überlegungen nicht prioritär angesprochen. EnergieSchweiz verfolgt nichtsdestot-
rotz die folgenden Ziele:
Kleine Unternehmen setzen bei Interesse einfache und wirtschaftliche Massnahmen mit wenig
Aufwand um.
Sie sind über einfach umsetzbare und wirtschaftliche Massnahmen informiert und entspre-
chend sensibilisiert.
42
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Aus Effektivitäts - und Effizienzüberlegungen sollten die bei den Unternehmen angestrebten energie -
und klimapolitischen Ziele in erster Linie durch Verhaltensänderungen der grossen Unternehmen
erreicht werden (Orientierungsgrösse: ca. 2/3). Die mittleren U nternehmen sollten zu knapp einem
Drittel zu den Zielen beitragen. Die kleinen Unternehmen haben mit erwarteten Zielbeiträgen weni-
ger als 5 Prozent keine Priorität. Diese Aufteilung bezieht sich auf Anlagen und Prozesse, zusätzlich
sind auch Verhaltensände rungen bei Gebäuden und erneuerbaren Energien und der Mobilität nötig
(vgl. Kapitel 4 und 6.1).
5.2.2 Mittler und Multiplikatoren
Enge Partnerschaften mit Mittlern und Multiplikatoren tragen massgebend zur Zielerreichung bei.
Damit gemeinsame Massnahmen und Aktivitäten erfolgreich sind, müssen sie sowohl für die Unter-
nehmen als Endkunden als auch für die beteiligten Mittler und Multiplikatoren Chancen bieten. Ener-
gieSchweiz zielt deshalb auf eine partnerschaftliche Zusammenarbeit mit Mittlern und Multiplikato-
ren ab, welche diese darin unterstützt, attraktive Dienstleistungen für die Energie effizienz und er-
neuerbaren Energien anzubieten (angebotsseitige Massnahmen). Bestehende Angebote werden
nicht konkurrenziert. Wie bei den Unternehmen beschrieben, wirkt EnergieSchweiz in erster Linie
auf der Nachfrageseite, indem der Markt erweitert wird.
Als prioritäre Mittler sind Energieberater, Installateure, Fachplaner, Anlagenbauer, Hersteller , Ge-
meindeverwaltung en und Lieferanten zu nennen. Energieeffizienz und erneuerbare Energien bieten
diesen Mittlern ein Geschäftsfeld an. Sie können der Kundschaf t nur zielführende Dienstleistungen
anbieten, wenn sie über die entsprechenden Qualifikationen verfügen. Gleichzeitig muss die Kund-
schaft über das Angebot an Effizienztechnologien und erneuerbaren Energien aus neutraler Warte
informiert sein und (wie oben dargestellt) diese Dienstleistungen in einem viel höheren Masse auch
nachfragen. EnergieSchweiz verfolgt entsprechend die folgenden Ziele:
Es sind genügend gut aus - und weitergebildete Mittler vorhanden.
Energieeffizienz und erneuerbare Energien sind stand ardmässig ein integraler Bestandteil von
Angeboten der prioritären Mittler.
Mittler verfügen über die nötigen Grundlagen, Qualifikationen und Ressourcen, um in Unter-
nehmen konkrete Massnahmen für die Energieeffizienz und erneuerbaren Energien auszulö-
sen un d zu begleiten.
Prioritäre Multiplikatoren sind vor allem Fach - und Branchenverbände, Städte und Gemeinden, die
Kantone, und Energieversorgungsunternehmen. Für die Multiplikatoren stehen die Themen Ener-
gieeffizienz und erneuerbare Energien oft nicht im Fok us. Sie verfügen über knappe Ressourcen
und Know -How oder – im Falle der öffentlichen Hand – beschränken diese meist auf die Umsetzung
des gesetzlichen Minimums, wodurch weitere Potenziale nicht ausgeschöpft werden. Energie-
Schweiz verfolgt entsprechend die folgenden Ziele:
Multiplikatoren informieren, sensibilisieren und beraten in ihrem Einflussbereich Unternehmen
über konkrete Massnahmen für die Energieeffizienz und erneuerbare Energien.
Multiplikatoren bieten Aus - und Weiterbildungen an oder weisen auf solche hin.
43
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Ergänzend sind die folgenden spezifischen Mittler und Multiplikatoren von Bedeutung: Umwelt - und
Konsumentenorganisationen sowie NGO, Finanzierer und Banken, Aus - und Weiterbildungsstätten
und -organisationen (z.B. Berufsverbände, ETH, FHS), Agenturen ( z.B. act, EnAW, energo), Stif-
tungen und Vereine (u.a. Klik, Klimastiftung, myclimate, Reffnet) und die Medien. EnergieSchweiz
verfolgt entsprechend die folgenden Ziele:
Die weiteren Mittler und Multiplikatoren bieten Information, Beratung und Au s- und Weiterbildung
für Energieeffizienz und erneuerbare Energien an oder weisen auf bestehende Angebote hin.
Die weiteren Mittler und Multiplikatoren nutzen bestehende Synergien und verstärken dadurch
die Wirkung und Effizienz ihrer Massnahmen.
5.2.3 Beitrag z u den energie - und klimapolitischen Zielen
Die anvisierten Verhaltensänderungen bei Unternehmen, Mittler en und Multiplikatoren dienen an-
schliessend dazu, dass die Unternehmen die Energieeffizienzpotenziale, die mit bestehenden Tech-
nologien umsetzbar und we itgehend wirtschaftlich sind, ausschöpfen und die Potenziale für die Nut-
zung von erneuerbaren Ene rgien für die Prozesswärme und -kälte nutzen. Dabei stehen quantitativ
wie oben beschrieben die grossen Unternehmen im Mittelpunkt. Während bei den mittleren U nterneh-
men ebenfalls Verhaltensänderungen erzielt werden sollen, spielen die kleineren Unternehmen aus
Kosten -Nutzen -Überlegungen für das Handlungsfeld «Anlagen und Prozesse in Industrie und Dienst-
leistungen» keine prioritäre Rolle. Durch die energetischen Wirkungen und durch die Substitution von
fossilen Energien durch erneuerbare Energien und Strom reduzieren die Unternehmen ihre CO 2-Emis-
sionen. Insgesamt trägt dies zu den energie - und klimapoli tischen Zielen der Schweiz bei.
5.3 Massnahmen
Massnahmen i n den Handlungsfeldern Mobilität, Gebäude und erneuerbare Energien werden im
Kapitel 4 «Mobilität von Privaten und Unternehmen» und im Kapitel 6.1 «Gebäude und erneuerbare
Energie in Industrie und Dienstleistungen» behandelt. Die Marktbearbeitung bzw. die Umsetzung
der entsprechenden Massnahmen für Industrie und Dienstleistungen erfolgt koordiniert und soll
möglichst alle Aspekte umfassen.
5.3.1 Massnahmen für grosse Unternehmen
Die Massnahmen für grosse Unternehmen entsprechen allesamt der ersten Priorität , da sie die
prioritäre Zielgruppe des zentralen Handlungsfelds «Anlagen und Prozesse i n Industrie und Dienst-
leistungen» sind.
Förderung von Information und Beratung: Im Vordergrund stehen vertiefte, systematische
Feinanalysen zur Quantifizierung der Potenziale und Bestimmung von Massnahmen für ener-
gieeffiziente Wärme - und Kälteprozesse, der Nutzung von Abwärme sowie für elektrische und
elektromechanische Anlagen.
Begleitung und Unterstützung der Unternehmen bei der Umsetzung von Erneuerungsinvestitio-
nen und vorzeitigem Ersatz, u.a. durch Erhöhung der Beschaffungskompetenz (Grundlagen, In-
formation, Förderung von Beratung) und Information zu Förderm öglichkeiten (z.B. ProKilowatt) 44
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Begleitung und Unterstützung der Unternehmen bei der energieeffizienten Betriebsoptimierung
und Instandhaltung durch Information, Aus - und Weiterbildung des Betriebspersonals sowie
Sensibilisierung der Geschäfts leitungen
Information und Beratung von Unternehmen über die Potenziale der Nutzung der Digitalisie-
rung für die Energieeffizienz (z.B. Sensibilisierung und Information der Geschäftsleitungen,
Analyse des Potenzials der Unternehmen, Unterstützung von Pilotprojekten und Er stellung von
guten Beispielen)
Information und Beratung für strategische Entscheide zur Beschaffung und Erneuerung von
IKT (Grundlagen, Kam pagnen, Förderung der Beratung)
Weiterbildung der Leitenden aus Technik, Betrieb und Einkauf
Weiterbildung und Qualitätssicherung der Energieberater von Installateuren, Fachplanern und
Anlagenbauern
Verstärkte Zusammenarbeit mit wichtigen Multiplikatoren (z.B. Fach - und Branchenverbände,
EVU, Kantone, St ädte und Gemeinden) für die Information von grossen Unternehmen
5.3.2 Massnahmen für mittlere Unternehmen
Bei den mittleren Unternehmen hat die Förderung von Information und Beratung zur ganzen Breite
der möglichen wirtschaftlich realisierbaren Potenziale hohe P riorität. Dem nachgelagert werden die-
selben Massnahmen angeboten wie bei den grossen Unternehmen, weshalb sich die Darstellung
der Massnahmen zwar grösstenteils wiederholt, die Priorität aber im Vergleich zu den grossen Un-
ternehmen tiefer ist. Im Vergleich zu den grossen Unternehmen nehmen hingegen die gewerblichen
Geräte einen höheren Stellenwert ein (z.B. Küchengeräte für Gastronomie oder Spitalgeräte).
Massnahmen erster Priorität :
Förderung von Information und Beratung. Im Vordergrund stehen einfache In strumente zur
Quantifizierung der Potenziale und Bestimmung von Massnahmen für energieeffiziente
Wärme - und Kälteprozesse, der Nutzung von Abwärme sowie für elektrische und elektrome-
chanische Anlagen.
Begleitung und Unterstützung der Unternehmen bei der en ergieeffizienten Betriebsoptimierung
und Instandhaltung durch Information, Aus - und Weiterbildung des Betriebspersonals sowie
Sensibilisierung der Geschäftsleitungen
Massnahmen zweiter Priorität :
Begleitung und Unterstützung der Unternehmen bei der Umsetzu ng von Erneuerungsinvestitio-
nen und vorzeitigem Ersatz, u.a. durch Erhöhung der Beschaffungskompetenz (Grundlagen, In-
formation, Förderung von Beratung) und Information zu Fördermöglichkeiten (z.B. ProKilowatt)
Flankierende Information und Beratung zu Vorsc hriften und Förderprogrammen, insbesondere
auch zu gewerblichen Geräten und Schaffen von Grundlagen für transparente Kundeninfor-
mation und Normierung
Information und Beratung von Unternehmen über die Potenziale der Nutzung der Digitalisie-
rung für die Energ ieeffizienz (z.B. Sensibilisierung und Information der Geschäftsleitungen,
Analyse des Potenzials der Unternehmen, Unterstützung von Pilotprojekten und Erstellung von
guten Beispielen) 45
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Weiterbildung und Qualitätssicherung der Energieberater, von Installate uren, Fachplanern und
Anlagenbauern
Verstärkte Zusammenarbeit mit wichtigen Multiplikatoren (z.B. Fach - und Branchenverbände,
EVU, Kantone, Städte und Gemeinden) für die Information von mittleren Unternehmen
5.3.3 Massnahmen für kleine Unternehmen
Für kleine Unt ernehmen werden nur einzelne einfache Massnahmen vorgesehen , die lediglich der
dritten Priorität entsprechen . Hier ist die Zusammenarbeit mit wichtigen Multiplikatoren besonders
bedeutend . Einfach umsetzbare und wirtschaftliche Massnahmen stehen im Vordergrund. Zudem
können viele Massnahmen bzw. Angebote des Handlungsfelds «Gebäude und erneuerbare Ener-
gien in privaten Haushalten» (vgl. Kapitel 3) von kleinen Unternehmen ebenfalls genutzt werden.
Bereitstellung von Informationen zu Energieeffizienz und erneuerbaren Energien
Zusammenarbeit mit wichtigen Multiplikatoren (z.B. Fach - und Branchenverbände, EVU, Kan-
tone, Städte und Gemeinden) für die Information von kleinen Unternehmen
46
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Weitere Handlungsfelder
EnergieS chweiz setzt in einer Reihe weiterer Handlungsfelder Massnahmen im Bereich der Infor-
mation, Beratung, Aus - und Weiterbildung sowie Qualitätssicherung um. Diese sind für die restli-
chen, insgesamt rund 26 Prozent des Energieverbrauchs der Schweiz verantwortlich. Auch in die-
sen Handlungsfeldern besteht jeweils ein bedeutendes Energieeffizi enz- und/oder Produktions po-
tenzial , das mit Massnahmen adressiert werden soll. Im Vergleich zu den drei genannten prioritären
Handlungsfeldern (vgl. Kapitel 3, 4 und 5) sind diese aber geringer oder weniger leicht umsetzbar,
weshalb weniger Ressourcen zur Verfügung gestellt werden .
Zu den w eitere n Handlungsfelder n gehört die Verbesserung der Gebäudeeffizienz und die Unter-
stützung des Einsatzes erneuerbarer Energien in Unternehmen , bei den Privathaushalten die ener-
gieeffizienten Elektrogeräte inklusive der Beleuchtung. Ebenfalls Han dlungsfelder sind der Ausbau
der Produktion von erneuerbaren Energien in der Schweiz durch Produzenten, welche die Energie
nicht selber nutzen, sondern weiterverka ufen, sowie Netze und Speicherung .
6.1 Gebäude und erneuerbare Energien in Industrie und Dienst-
leistungen
6.1.1 Ausgangslage
Die Unternehmen investieren noch zu wenig in erneuerbare Energien und schöpfen das zu
erreichende Potenzial nur in geringem Masse aus. Industriebetriebe und Dienstleistungsunterneh-
men können Raumwärme und Brauchwarmwasser gut durch erneuerbare Energien decken. Beson-
ders attraktiv ist die effiziente Koppelung von Kälte - und Wärmebedarf unter Einsatz von Wärme-
pumpen.
Das Potenzial für erneuerbare Energien in Industrie und Dienstleistungen ist gross. Eine direkte
Einbindung in industrie lle Prozesse ist oft anspruchsvoll, aber möglich. Ein grosses Potenzial be-
steht für erneuerbare Energie, die für die Raumwärme, das Warmwasser oder den Eigenverbrauch
an Strom genutzt werden kann.
Die Nutzung der Photovoltaik, speziell zum Eigenstromverbra uch, weist ein grosses Potenzial
auf. Entsprechende Massnahmen sind im Kapitel 3 Gebäude und erneuerbare Energien in
privaten Haushalten und im Kapitel 6.3 Grossanlagen für erneuerbare Energie sowie im Kapitel
6.4 Netze und Speicherung enthalten. Die Nutzung der thermischen Solarenergie weist hinge-
gen nur ein geringes Potenzial auf.
Erdgas kann direkt durch Biogas substituiert werden, was zu einem theoretischen Potenzial
von 7.5 TWh/a führt. Diesem steht jedoch ein Biogas potenzial von nur 2.3 TWh/a gegenüber.
Die Biomasse (in erster Linie Energieholz) hat mit ca. 4.0 TWh/a das zweitgrösste Potenzial .
Das dafür benötigte Energieholz wäre ausreichend vorhanden .
Standardwärmepumpen könnten für die Produktion von Warmwasser und die Raumheizung
einen B edarf von 1.6 TWh/a decken. Hochtemperaturwärmepumpen nutzen die interne Pro-
zessabwärme, ihr Potenzial wird auf 0.7 TWh/a geschätzt. 47
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
6.1.2 Ziele
EnergieSchweiz verfolgt die folgenden Ziele:
Beim Ausbau und der Nutzung erneuerbarer Energien werden primär die grossen und
mittleren Unternehmen aktiv . Prioritär sollen die wirtschaftlichen Potenziale erschlossen
werden. Dabei spielt es per se keine grosse Rolle, in welche erneuerbaren Energien die
Unternehmen investieren. Wenn jedoch bestimmte Vorausset zungen und Gelegenheiten
bestehen, sollte in geeignete Anlagen investiert werden (z.B. Wärmepumpe zur Nutzung von
Abwärme aus Kälteanlagen).
Mittler und Multiplikatoren sprechen Ihre Kunden gezielt auf den Einsatz von erneuerbaren
Energien an.
6.1.3 Massnahmen
EnergieSchweiz setzt insbesondere folgende Massnahmen um:
Information, Sensibilisierung und Motivierung von Entscheid ungsträger n in den Unternehmen
zum Thema erneuerbare Energien und Ausräumung bestehende r Vorurteile zu den einzelnen
Technologien.
Aufzeig en von wirtschaftliche n und multiplizierbare n Beispiele n für den Einsatz von
erneuerbaren Energien und die Nutzung von Abwärme, wobei der Fokus auf die Lebenszyklus -
Kosten statt auf den einfachen pay back gelegt wird.
Schulung der wichtigsten Player (z.B. act, EnAW, energo, Energieberater, Ingenieurbüros,
Architekten, Fachplaner, Installateure und EVU), damit sie ihre Kunden fundiert und
zielgerichtet beraten können.
Verpflichtung der entsprechenden Akteure i n den von EnergieSchweiz unterstützten Proj ekten
und Aktivitäten ( z.B. PEIK, Pinch Analysen, Stromeffizienz, usw.), den Einsatz erneuerbarer
Energien zu thematisieren.
Für die Ausschöpfung der Potenziale bei den Gebäude n in Industrie und Dienstleistungen, wie z.B.
der Ersatz von fossilen Wärm eerzeu gern, Gebäudehüllensanierung, Betriebsoptimierung usw., kön-
nen die Massnahmen des Kapitels 3 Gebäude und erneuerbare Energien in privaten Haushalten
übertragen werden und müssen mit den weiteren Massnahmen i m Bereich Industrie und Dienstleis-
tungen koordiniert werden.
6.2 Elektrogeräte und Beleuchtungen in privaten Haushalten
6.2.1 Ausgangslage
Haushaltsgrossgeräte (17.9 Mio. Stück in Betrieb, Stromverbrauch 5.4 TWh), Elektronikgeräte (30.7
Mio. Stück in Betrieb, Stromverbrauch 1.6 TWh) und Beleuchtungen (138 Mio. Stück in Betrieb,
Stromverbrauch 1.3 TWh) in privaten Haushalten verursachten 2017 zusammen einen Stromver-
brauch von 8.3 GWh, rund 14 Prozent des gesamten Str omverbrauchs in der Schweiz. Zu den
grössten Stromverbrauchern bei den Haushaltsgeräten gehören die Elektroherde, Backöfen, Kühl-
geräte und Wäschetrockner, bei den Elektronikgeräten Fernseher, Set -Top-Boxen und Computer. 48
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Seit 2002 ergibt sich bei Haushaltsg rossgeräten eine Bestandszunahme von 32 Prozent , der Strom-
verbrauch hat dabei deutlich weniger stark zugenommen (+2 %). Im Bereich der Elektronikgeräte
(IT-, Büro - und Unterhaltungselektronikgeräte) sind die Effizienzgewinne noch grösser als bei den
Hausha ltgrossgeräten. Über alle Kategorien hinweg gesehen hat der Bestand seit dem Jahr 2002
um 44 Prozent zugenommen, der Stromverbrauch hingegen hat um 34 Prozent abgenommen.
Das Effizienzpotenzial des heutigen Gerätebestands wird, verglichen mit Bestgeräten, auf 25 Pro-
zent geschätzt. Im Bereich der Beleuchtung sind Einsparungen von über 50 Prozent realistisch.
Zusätzlich gibt es durch die Digitalisierung (Internet of Things) ein Potenzial , die Haushaltsgeräte
im Lastmanagement einzusetzen.
Für die Steigerung der Stromeffizienz von Elektrogeräten stehen verschiedene politische Instru-
mente zur Verfügung. Die bestehenden Effizienzanforderungen und Deklarationsvorschriften für
Elektrogeräte werden entsprechend dem Stand der Technik verschärft und auf neue Geräteka tego-
rien ausgeweitet. Dies geschieht mehrheitlich gestützt auf Vorarbeiten der EU. Die Einhaltung dieser
Vorschriften wird durch eine umfassende Marktkontrolle sichergestellt. Im Rahmen der wettbewerb-
lichen Ausschreibungen werden Projekte und Programme zur Förderung der Stromeffizienz von
Elektrogeräten (z.B. effizienter Beleuchtung) unterstützt.
Als grösste Hemmnisse zu einer noch stärkeren Verbreitung von effizienten Elektrogeräten und
deren effizienten Nutzung zählen:
Die fehlende Transparenz bezüglich Lebensdauerkosten : Der Stromverbrauch weist in der Re-
gel eine geringe Bedeutung für Konsumenten auf . Die Investitionskosten beeinflussen den
Kaufentscheid massgebend.
Die bereits grossen Fortschritte im Bereich der Stromeffizienz : Die Unterschiede zwische n den
einzelnen Klassen der Energieetikette werden tendenziell umso kleiner, je ausgereifter eine
Produktgruppe bereits ist. Die Unterschiede in der Effizienz vermögen die allfälligen Mehrkos-
ten über die Lebensdauer des Produkts nicht mehr aufzuwiegen.
Defizite in der Aus - und Weiterbildung von Mittlern (v.a. Handwerker, Handel, Architekten/Pla-
ner, Berater, Grosseinkäufer)
Fehlende Sensibilisierung oder Information für die effiziente Benutzung von Elektrogeräten
(insbesondere Vermeidung von Standby -Verbrauc h)
6.2.2 Ziele
Die Ziele im Handlungsfeld Elektrogeräte und Beleuchtung lauten wie folgt:
Der Energieverbrauch von Elektrogeräten und der Beleuchtung wird stabilisiert resp. reduziert .
Die Information und Sensibilisierung betreffend der (neuen) Energieetikette werden erhöht und
die Umsetzung von Vorschriften und Förderprogrammen generell verbessert.
Der Information s- und Sensibilisierung sgrad bezüglich effiziente r Geräte und optimierte m Be-
nutzerverhalten steig t, vor allem auch bei den Mittlern und Multiplikatore n.
Die Chancen des Internet of Things werden genutzt, um zusätzliche Effizienzgewinne zu er-
zielen und den Einsatz von Elektrogeräten in Mikrogrids oder als Regele nergie -Speicher zu
optimieren. 49
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
6.2.3 Massnahmen
Zur Erreichung obiger Ziele werden die folgenden Mas snahmen ergriffen :
Prioritär ist die Begleitung und Unterstützung von gesetzlichen Vorschriften und Förderpro-
grammen durch Information, Sensibilisierung und Aus - und Weiterbildung , z.B. bezüglich den
Energieetiketten , Bestgeräte n (energetische Betrachtung) und ProKilowatt. Sensibilisierung,
Information und Beratung werden primär online vorgenommen . Offline -Aktivitäten sind punk-
tuell ergänzend sinnvoll. Auf ein statisches Label für Bestgeräte wird verzichtet, um keine Dop-
pelspurigkeiten mit den Energieetiket ten zu schaffen.
Ebenfalls prioritär ist die Erarbeitung von Grundlagen (z.B. Marktübersichten), welche der In-
formation der Konsumenten über Bestgeräte dienen und/oder in die Erarbeitung neuer Vor-
schriften oder von Förderprogrammen (ProKilowatt) einfliesse n.
Erkennung der Chancen der Informations - und Kommunikationstechnologien für die effiziente
Verwendung von Energie und des Lastmanagement s und bei Bedarf diesbezügliche Informa-
tion und Beratung für die Bevölkerung (bspw. Einsatz von Sensoriklösungen in de r Beleuch-
tung). Das bedingt u.a. zusätzliche Ausbildungsangebote bei Mittlern (Elektroinstallateuren,
Architekten, Bauherren , o.a. ).
Informierung der privaten Haushalte betreffend die effiziente Nutzung von Elektrogeräten, z.B.
bei Elektronikgeräten auf di e Vermeidung des Standby -Verbrauchs hinweisen oder Energie-

6.3 Grossanlagen für erneuerbare Energien
6.3.1 Ausgangslage
Der Begriff «Grossanlagen für erneuerbare Energien» umfasst alle Anlagen zur Erzeugung erneu-
erbarer En ergien (Strom, Wärme und Treibstoff), die nicht den privaten Haushalten zugeordnet sind
(vgl. Kapitel 3). Konkret sind es insbesondere die Kleinwasserkraftwerke, die W indenergieanlagen,
die Tiefengeothermieanlagen, die Holzenergieanlagen, die Bio gasanlagen (zur Stromproduktion o-
der zur Aufbereitung und Einspeisung des Biogases ins Erdgasnetz) , die grossen Photovoltaik - und
Solarthermieanlagen, die Infrastrukturanlagen ( KVA, ARA, Abwärme -, Abwasser - und Wasserver-
sorgung), die thermischen Netze zur Übertragung von Energie , der damit verbundene Einsatz von
Wärmepumpen sowie Anlagen, die zur Sektorkopplung dienen.
Die Strom - und Wärmeproduktion aus neuen erneuerbaren Energien (ohne Wasserkraft) hat in den
letzten zehn Jahren (2007 –2017) stark zugenommen: Die Stromproduktion um zirka 200 Prozent
und die Wärmeproduktion um zirka 50 Prozent (Schweizerische Statistik de r erneuerbaren Ener-
gien). Gemäss den Richtwerten des Artikels 2 des Energiegesetzes soll die Stromproduktion aus
neuen Erneuerbaren Energien bis 2035 um 212 Prozent zunehmen und auf 11 400 GWh/Jahr stei-
gen. Weil mit den Kernkraftwerken künftig Bandenergie wegfallen wird, bekommt der Winterstrom -
Anteil der Stromproduktion aus erneuerbaren Energien zunehmende Bedeutung. Hier können vor
allem die Geothermie und die Windenergie, in kleinerem Umfang aber auch die Photovoltaik und
die Kleinwasserkraft wesentliche Anteile beitragen. 50
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Für die Wärmeproduktion gibt es keine entsprechenden Richtwerte, sondern Szenarien für die En-
denergienachfrage aus erneuerbaren Energien in den Energieperspektiven 2050. Gemäss diesen
Ausbauszenarien wäre eine Zunahme der Wärme bis 203 5 gegenüber heute von 57 Prozent nötig.
Für die Entwicklung der erneuerbaren Energien gibt es heute nach wie vor viele Hemmnisse, die je
nach Technologie unterschiedlich ausfallen: Langwierige und komplexe Bewilligungsverfahren
(Wind - und Wasserkraft); Kon flikte der Energieproduktion mit zahlreichen anderen Interessen wie
z.B. dem Landschaftsschutz (Windenergie) oder der Luftreinhaltung (Holzenergie); hohe Anfangsi-
nvestitionen und entsprechende Finanzierungsschwierigkeiten; geringe Wettbewerbsfähigkeit bei
tiefen Preisen für fossile Energieträger; Kostendruck und deren Wirkung auf die Qualität der Anla-
gen; mangelndes Fachwissen; Akzeptanzprobleme und Desinformation durch Opponenten etc.
Für die Weiterentwicklung der erneuerbaren Energien und das Erreichen der Ausbauziele sind neben
regulatorischen Massnahmen (Förderung, Lenkung) auch freiwillige Massnahmen (z.B. Information,
Beratung, Sensibilisierung) nötig. Diese werden im Rahmen von En ergieSchweiz durchgeführt.
6.3.2 Ziele
Die Aktivitäten von EnergieSchweiz leisten einen wesentlichen und unverzichtbaren Beitrag zur För-
derung der erneuerbaren Energien . Sie ergänzen die gesetzlichen Vorschriften und finanziellen För-
dermassnahmen der Energiestra tegie 2050 sinnvoll.
EnergieSchweiz hilft, die oben beschriebenen Hemmnisse zu überwinden und hat dabei folgende
Ziele:
Die Bevölkerung erhält neutrale und hochwertige Informationen über die erneuerbaren Energien ,
einerseits von EnergieSchweiz direkt, ande rerseit über Dritte wie z.B. die Branchenverbände.
Potentiellen Bauherren stehen kompetente und gezielte Beratungsdienstleistungen zur Verfü-
gung .
Kantonale und kommunale Behörden verfügen über effiziente Bewilligungsprozesse und tau-
schen ihr Wissen regelmä ssig untereinander aus (insbesondere bei der Windenergie und der
Geothermie).
Es sind ausreichend qualifizierte Fachleute vorhanden , die den Stand der Technik kennen und
verbauen.
Die Qualitätssicherung der Grossanlagen für erneuerbare Energien wird auf ho hem Niveau
wahrgenommen . Es werden internationale Standards verwendet oder übertroffen.
Neue und innovative Technologien werden verbreitet und angewendet .
6.3.3 Massnahmen
Zur Unterstützung der Grossanlagen für erneuerbare Energien sind folgende Massnahmen geplant:
Erarbeitung von Grundlagen für die Optimierung der Rahmenbedingungen (Beispiele: Vor-
schriften, Leitfäden, Potenzial analysen, Machbarkeitsstudien etc.)
Erstellung und Unterstützung von neutralen und qualitativ hochwertigen Informationen für alle
relevanten Zielgruppen (Publikationen, Webseite, Newsletter etc.)
Unterstützung von Beratungsmassnahmen zur Förderung der erneuerbaren Energien (Hotline,
individuelle Vorgehensberatung, Ratgeber etc.) 51
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Stärkung der Sensibilisierung zugunsten der erneuerbaren Energien (Kommunikationskam-
pagnen, Ratgeber, Success -Stories etc.)
Unterstützung von Aus - und Weiterbildungsaktivitäten für die Fachleute (Kurse, Schulungsun-
terlagen, Fachveranstaltungen etc.)
Förderung und Unterstützung von Qualitätssicherungsmassnahmen v on erneuerbaren Ener-
giesystemen (Aufbau von Branchen -Know -how, Werkzeuge, Handbücher etc.)
Förderung und Unterstützung von innovativen Technologien (Austauschplattformen, Ausarbei-
tung von innovativen Konzepten, Kommunikation etc.)
EnergieSchweiz arbeitet b ei der Entwicklung dieser Massnahmen in der Regel mit Partnern aus
dem öffentlichen Sektor oder aus der Privatwirtschaft zusammen, damit die Verbreitung der Bot-
schaften von einem Multiplikationseffekt profitieren kann . Die enge Zusammenarbeit mit Branchen-
verbänden ist besonders zu erwähnen: Sie stellt sicher, dass die Massnahmen mit den aktuellen
Marktbedürfnissen übereinstimmen. Die Verbände sorgen zudem für eine bessere Akzeptanz der
Massnahmen durch den Einbezug der Marktakteure und stärken den Know -how Austausch zwi-
schen den relevanten Akteuren.
6.4 Netze und Speicherung
6.4.1 Ausgangslage
Das vorliegende Kapitel beinhaltet sämtliche Infrastrukturen für die Strom - und Wärmebereitstellung
sowie deren Verwendung.
Die Herausforderungen aller netzgebundenen Energie infrastrukturen liegen bei der bedarfsgerech-
ten Bereitstellung der Energie, welche oft nicht dann «anfällt», wenn sie gebraucht wird. Mit Ener-
giespeichern kann das Angebot zeitlich verschoben werden Deshalb besteht national wie internati-
onal viel Interesse am Thema Energiespeicher. Angesichts des klimapolitisch motivierten Ausbaus
erneuerbarer Energien überall in Europa gelten sie als eine der Optionen zur notwendigen Flexibili-
sierung von Strom - und Wärmebereitstellung. Tatsächlich stellt die zunehmende flu ktuierende de-
zentrale Einspeisung in die Stromnetze, vor allem durch Wind - und Solarenergie, eine Herausfor-
derung für die Systemstabilität dar.
Um Effizienzziele und die Verringerung des Energieverbrauch s zu erreichen, können Kurzzeit - oder
saisonale Speic her einen wesentlichen Beitrag leisten, seien es z.B. Wärmespe icher in thermischen
Netzen mit oder ohne WKK -Anlagen, geologische Speicher, Schwungräder, Pumpspeicher, chemi-
sche Speicher wie Batterien, P2X -Technologien und noch viele mehr. Diese können zur Vermeidung
von Energieverlusten und damit zur Steigerung der Systemeffizienz beitragen.
Es gibt somit einige Schnittstellen zwischen der Strom - und Wärmeproduktion aus erneu erbaren
Energien und den Netzen sowie entsprechenden Speicher n. Diese werden aktuell auch im hoheitli-
chen Bereich diskutiert (etwa bei der Revision des StromVG) und wird künftig relevant sein. 52
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
6.4.2 Ziele
Das grundlegende Ziel ist die Vereinfachung und Optimierung der Integration grosser Anteile von
Elektrizität und Wärme aus erneuerb aren Energien ins Schweizer Energiesystem. Dabei sind neben
der Begleitung der oben beschriebenen Entwicklungen folgende Ziele wichtig:
Die Energieversorgung im Winter sollte ausreichend sein und mit Produktionsüberschüssen im
Sommer ist sinnvoll umzugehen20.
Strom - und Wärme -Netze sind gemäss den Bedürfnissen des zukünftigen Produktionsparks
optimiert.
Die erforderliche Qualität der Systeme und Systemkomponenten wird durch Aus - und Weiter-
bildung, Information und Beratung erreicht.
Umfassende notwendige Gru ndlagen wie Statistiken, Normen und Standards in Planungs - und
Ausbildungsunterlagen stehen zur Verfügung und sind aktuell.
Der sinnvolle Einsatz von Speicherlösungen je nach Bedarf und Anwendungsbereich ist si-
chergestellt, z.B. bei der Entlastung des Verteilnetzes mittels Batterien oder virtuellen Kraft-
werken sowie bei der Unterstützung der Speicherung von Produktionsüberschüssen vom Som-
mer für den Winter.
Die Steuerung des Verbrauchs und das Angebot der Energien spielen optimal zusammen .
Hemmnisse be im notwen digen Aus - und Umbau von Netz - und Speichersystemen werden ab-
gebaut .
6.4.3 Massnahmen
Erarbeitung von Grundlagen für die Optimierung der Rahmenbedingungen (Beispiele: Vor-
schriften, Leitfäden, Potenzial analysen, Machbarkeitsstudien etc.)
Erstellung und U nterstützung von neutralen und qualitativ hochwertigen Informationen für alle
relevanten Zielgruppen (Publikationen, Webseite, Newsletter etc.)
Stärkung der Sensibilisierung der diversen Branchen und anderer zugunsten der Integration
erneuerbarer Energien (Ratgeber, Success -Stories etc.)
Förderung und Unterstützung von innovativen Technologien (Ausarbeitung von innovativen
Konzepten, Kommunikation etc.)
Bestimmung von Hemmnissen und Entwicklung von entsprechenden Massnahmen zusammen
mit den Partnern
Energie Schweiz arbeitet bei der Entwicklung dieser Massnahmen verstärkt mit den Branchen sowie
Vertretern des öffentlichen Sektors oder aus der Privatwirtschaft zusammen, damit die Verbreitung
der Botschaften von einem Multiplikationseffekt profitieren kann . Wie im Kapitel zuvor ausgeführt,
ist auch hier die enge Zusammenarbeit mit Branchenverbänden besonders wichtig.
20 Das zukünftige Schweizer Elektrizitätssystem wird von Solarenergie und Wasserkraft dominiert sein und im Winte r a priori
deutlich weniger Elektrizität produzieren als im Sommer. 53
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Querschnittsthemen
Bei den Querschnittsthemen handelt es sich um Themen, die die bereits diskutierten prioritären und
weiteren Handlungsfelder übergreifen und damit auch die entsprechende Priorität haben . Dazu ge-
hört insbesondere die Aus - und Weiterbildung der zukünftig notwendigen Fachkräfte in den ver-
schiedenen Handlungsfeldern. Ein weiteres wichtiges Querschnittsthema stellt Städte , Gemeinden,
Quartiere und Regionen dar. Die Digitalisierung , der Klimaschutz sowie die Innovation stellen wei-
tere Querschnittsthemen dar.
7.1 Aus- und Weiterbildung
7.1.1 Ausgangslange
Bei der Umsetzung der Ziele der Energiestrategie 2050 spielt die Aus - und Weiterbildung der Fach-
leute eine wichtige Rolle. Das strategische Ziel der Aus - und Weiterbildungsaktivitäten ist, dazu
beizutragen, dass der Arbeitsmarkt über genügend qualifizierte Fachkräfte für die Umsetzung der
Energiestrategie 2050 des Bundes verfügt und das Knowhow und die Handlungskompetenzen in
den verschiedensten Branchen sichergestellt sind.
Die Aktivitäten im Themengebiet Aus- und Weiterbildung leiten sich aus verschieden en Bedürfnis-
sen ab. Erstens orientieren sie sich an den inhaltlichen Schwerpunkten von EnergieSchweiz und an
den Bedürfnissen der Kantone. Daraus werden die prioritär aus - oder weiterzubildenden Berufe mit
Energiebezug abgeleitet, um fehlende Kompetenzen z u beheben oder Wissen aktuell zu halten.
Zweitens setzt EnergieSchweiz auf eine proaktive Zusammenarbeit mit den Organisationen der Ar-
beitswelt (OdA) und Bildungsinstitutionen. Bei den Zielgruppen handelt es sich in der Regel um
Lernende von relevanten Ber ufen (b erufliche Grundbildung, BGB), um im Arbeitsmarkt tätige Be-
rufsleute, um Absolventen höherer Berufsbildung (HBB) und Studierende an Fachschulen (b erufs-
orientierte Weiterbildung, WB) sowie um Studierende der Fachhochschulen und Universitäten. Drit-
tens verfolgt EnergieSchweiz Ziele in der Zusammenarbeit mit den allgemeinbildenden Schulen.
Dazu gehören die Volkschule, Gymnasien, Fachmittelschulen sowie Berufsschulen ( allgemeinbil-
dender Unterricht , ABU ).
7.1.2 Ziele
EnergieSchweiz verfolgt im Handlungsfeld Aus- und Weiterbildung die folgenden Ziele:
Die durchgeführten Massnahmen orientieren sich am bestehenden Bildungssystem, basieren
auf Marktbedürfnissen und sind mit den relevanten Stakeholdern wie OdA, Branchenverbän-
den, Kantonen und Bildungsinstitutionen ko nsolidiert.
Die Massnahmen im Handlungsfeld Aus- und Weiterbildung sind erstens auf die inhaltlichen
Schwerpunkte von EnergieSchweiz , zweitens auf die Bedürfnisse der Arbeitswelt und drittens
auf die Aktivitäten der allgemeinbildenden Schulen ausgerichtet.
Es gibt genügend ausgebildete Fachkräfte in Berufen mit Energiebezug.
Die vielfältigen Energiet hemen werden im U nterricht auf genommen und Schüler und Schüle-
rinnen sind für den nachhaltigen Umgang mit Energie sensibilisiert. 54
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
7.1.3 Massnahmen
Zur E rreichung der festgelegten Ziele werden insbesondere folgende Massnahmen in Angriff ge-
nommen:
Verankerung der konkreten Themen in den Bildungsplänen und Bildungsverordnungen der re-
levanten Berufe (BGB) sowie in den relevanten Prüfungsordnungen der berufso rientierten Wei-
terbildung (HBB /WB): Diese Aufgabe im formalen Bildungsbereich wird in Zusammenarbeit mit
dem BAFU wahrgenommen. Es werden gleichzeitig Energie - und Ressourcenthemen sowie
die Klimathematik abgedeckt. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeiten werden «Basis -Analysen» finanziert,
welche dazu dienen, ein entsprechendes Berufsfeld genauer zu untersuchen und die konkre-
ten Handlungskompetenzen aufzuzeigen. Die Analysen dienen als Grundlage für den formalen
Berufsbildungsprozess und für die Erarbeitung von Unterric htsmaterialien und Weiterbildungs-
angeboten.
Unterstützung des Aufbaus, der Überarbeitung und der Durchführung von zielgruppengerech-
ten nicht -formalen Weiterbildungen (Kurse, CAS -, MAS -Lehrgänge etc.)
Unterstützung der Erarbeitung oder Überarbeitung von Bi ldungsmaterialien
Unterstützung der Information der Zielgruppen über Aus - und Weiterbildungsangeboten sowie
die Koordination solcher Angebote unter den verschiedenen Bildungsanbietern
Unterstützung von Partnerprojekten im Aus - und Weiterbildungsbereich, we lche dazu beitra-
gen, die Hauptziele zu erreichen.
Finanzierung von Bedarfsabklärungen, Aus - und Weiterbildungsbilanzierungen, Marktanaly-
sen, Basis -Analysen und allgemeinen Aus - und Weiterbildungskonzepten
Information von Lehrpersonen bezüglich energierelev anter Themen und Bereitstellen von Fak-
tenblättern und Lehrmaterialien via Webseite sowie weiterer Kommunikationskanäle von
EnergieSchweiz
Unterstützung zielführender Schulprojekte externer Partner
Unterstützung der Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BN E) über den Einsitz des Bundes-
amts für Energie im Bestellergremium der Stiftung éducation 21
55
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
7.2 Städte, Gemeinden, Quartiere und Regionen
7.2.1 Ausgangslage
Viele Schweizer Städte und Gemeinden haben in den letzten zwei bis drei Jahrzehnten in ihrer
Energie - und Klimapolitik ein hohes Niveau erreicht , etwa als Energiestadt . Sie haben sich eine
stabile energiepolitische Basis erarbeitet, die heute in ihrer politischen Agenda einen wichtigen Platz
einnimmt. Fortschrittliche Städte und Gemeinden möchten ihre Energie aktivitäten nun konsequent
auf die Zielsetzungen der Energiestrategie 2050 und des Pariser Klimaabkommens von 2015 aus-
richten. Diese Ziele sind in den Städten und Gemeinden dabei oft über den direkten Bezug zur 2000 -
Watt-Gesellschaft fest in ihren jeweilig en kommunalen Grundlagen (Gemeinde -Ordnungen, Leitbil-
der, Volksabstimmungen etc.) verankert. Der Absenkpfad der 2000 -Watt -Gesellschaft stellt dabei
eine direkte «Übersetzung» von Zielen der nationalen Energiestrategie 2050 und internationalen
CO 2-Abkommen auf kommunaler Ebene dar. Diese energiepolitischen Initiativen können von Städ-
ten und Gemeinden konsequent in integrale Konzepte (z.B. Smart City) eingebunden werden.
Dadurch werden energiepolitische Aktivitäten mit weiteren Themen verknüpft, sowie verschi edene
Verwaltungseinheiten, Unternehmen und private Stakeholder dabei abgeholt.
EnergieSchweiz will diese Bestrebungen weiter unterstützen und legt den Fokus primär auf die fort-
schrittlichen Städte und Gemeinde welche die Energie - und Klimapolitik der Schweiz umsetzen und
für ihre Bevölkerung und andere Städte und Gemeinden als Vorbild wirken. Sie sollen dazu motiviert
werden, mit klaren Zielvorgaben neue Themen anzugehen und mittels einer integralen Sichtweise
innovative Projekte anzustossen. Das gewonnene Wissen soll anderen Interessenten aktiv zur Ver-
fügung gestellt werden.
7.2.2 Ziele
EnergieSchweiz verfolgt für die Städte und Gemeinden die folgenden Ziele:
Die Schweizer Gemeinden nutzen ihre sehr guten Voraussetzungen, um für die Ziele der Ener-
giestrategie 2050 einen wirksamen Beitrag zu leisten und im Rahmen ihrer Möglichkeiten ihr
energie - und klima olitisches Potenzial voll aus zuschöpfen.
Energiepolitisch fortschrittliche Gemeinden haben auf der Grun dlage von individuellen Analy-
sen gemeindespezifische Zielsetzungen entwickelt ( z.B. kommunaler Absenkpfad 2000 -Watt -
Gesellschaft entsprechend den Zielen der Energiestrategie 2050) und agieren konsequent ent-
sprechend ihren langfristigen Konzepten.
Die Geme inden nehmen ihre Vermittlerrolle und ihre Schnittstellenfunktion konsequent wahr,
verknüpfen das Energie - und Klima thema mit weiteren Themenkomplexen und binden die un-
terschiedlichen Akteure ein.
Das regionale Umfeld wird zwecks energie - und klima strateg ischen Überlegungen mittels in-
terkommunalen Abkommen einbezogen. Die Produktion und der Bezug von erneuerbaren
Energien sowie die strategische Bündelung von Ressourcen werden auf diese Weise koordi-
niert und auf möglichst nachhaltige Weise genutzt.
In der Quartier - und Arealentwicklung geben urban geprägte Gemeinden privaten sowie öffent-
lichen Bauherren klare energetische Zielvorgaben für ihre Projekte vor. Die Gemeinden fordern
die Nachweise ihrer definierten Zielsetzungen vom Projektentwickler ein. 56
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Die G emeinden nehmen ihre Rolle als Vorbild gegenüber lokalen Unternehmen und Privaten
wahr und üben Einfluss auf das energie - und klima relevante Verhalten der Bewohnerinnen und
Bewohner aus.
Gemeinden, welche das Thema Energie und Klima bisher nicht stark beac hteten, verankern eine
nachhaltige Energie - und Klima politik in der kommunalen Gesetzgebung und setzen diese um.
Gemeindespezifische Förderprogramme werden entwickelt , damit alle in der Energie - und
Klimapolitik engagierten Städte und Gemeinden angesproche n und angemessen begleitet
werden.
7.2.3 Massnahmen
Städte und Gemeinden mit einer fortschrittlichen sowie ambitionierten Energie - und Klimapolitik ste-
hen im Fokus der Massnahmen von EnergieSchweiz. Während sich EnergieSchweiz auf die Akti-
vierung, Inputberatung und Projektförderung in den Gemeinden konzentriert, wird die Umsetzung
der Leistungen für die Gemeinden von privaten Akteuren durchgeführt.
Um die Ziele zu erreichen, werden insbesondere folgende Massnahmen in Angriff genommen:
Unterstützung von kommuna len Projekten, die einen quantifizierbaren Beitrag zur Zielerrei-
chung der Energiestrategie 2050 aufweisen , sowie dem Absenkpfad der 2000 -Watt-Gesell-
schaft und des Smart -City-Konzepts entsprechen.
Unterstützung von Städten und Gemeinden im Energiestadt - oder Smart -City-Prozess, falls
diese die Energie - und Klimastrategie der Schweiz unterstützen: Verbindliche Verankerung auf
der politischen Ebene unter Einbezug der Verwaltung und der Stakeholder
Fokus der Subvention auf Infrastrukturprojekte, in denen die Ge meinden im Entwicklungspro-
zess eine tragende Rolle einnehmen (Wärmeverbund, kommunale Produktion von erneuerba-
ren Energien, etc.).
Gemeinden bieten Austauschplattformen zwecks Einbindung der verschiedenen Akteure und
Wissenstransfer an. EnergieSchweiz bet reibt eine zentrale Wissensplattform für verschiedene
Akteure im Gemeinde und Städte Umfeld.
Setzen von Anreizen zu interkommunalen Zusammenschlüssen von ländlichen Gemeinden zu
Energie -Regionen und von urban geprägten Gemeinden zu Smart -Regionen
Betreibu ng von themenspezifischen Programmen zu Smart -City, Energie -Region und 2000 -
Watt-Areal: Das Programm 2000 -Watt -Areal wird weiterhin mit einem Zertifikat für Grossbau-
projekte geführt. Zudem wird die methodische Grundlage zur 2000 -Watt -Gesellschaft weiterhin
von EnergieSchweiz gepflegt
Multiplikation von fortschrittlichen Konzepten sowie Wissenstransfer in die Breite durch die un-
terstützen Programme
Entflechtung und Vereinfachung des generellen Angebots an Programmen, Labels und Instru-
menten für die Unterstü tzung von energiepolitischen Aktivitäten der Gemeinden
Definition von quantifizierbaren gemeindespezifischen Zielsetzungen auf der Grundlage von
individuellen Analysen: Die Gemeinden legen den Weg eigenständig fest, wie die Ziele zu er-
reichen sind.
57
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
7.3 Klim aschutz
Das Thema Klimaschutz, insbesondere die Reduktion der CO 2-Emissionen aus fossilen Brenn - und
Treibstoffen, weist grosse Überschneidungen mit der Energieeffizienz und den erneuerbaren Ener-
gien auf. Die Energieeffizienz und die Substitution von fossilen durch erneuerbare Energien sind für
die Erreichung der klimapolitischen Ziele zentral, da rund drei Viertel der Treibhausgasemissionen
auf energiebedingtes CO 2 zurückzuführen sind.
Die in den letzten Jahren begonnene projektspezifische Zusammenarb eit der Bundesämter für
Energie und Umwelt (BFE, BAFU) soll deshalb weiterentwickelt und intensiviert werden. Es ist das
Ziel der beiden Fachämter, für die Periode 2021 –2030 Synergien von Anfang an bei Informations -,
Beratungs - und Bildungsaktivitäten verm ehrt zu nutzen, um Energieeffizienz und Klimaschutz wirk-
sam voranzubringen. Ziel ist eine klimaverträgliche Energieversorgung der Schweiz , das heisst, eine
Energieversorgung, die ab Mitte Jahrhundert so nahe wie möglich an einer Bilanz von Nu ll Treib-
hausga semissionen ist.
Eine gut verankerte horizontale Integration von Klimaschutz ist wichtig in den strategischen Zielen
des Programms EnergieSchweiz , namentlich in den drei prioritären Handlungsfeldern Gebäude und
erneuerbare Energie in privaten Haushalten ( siehe Kapitel 3), Mobilität von Privaten und Unterneh-
men ( Kapitel 4) und Anlage n und Prozesse der Industrie ( Kapitel 5) sowie in den weiteren Hand-
lungsfeldern Aus - und Weiterbildung ( Kapitel 7.1), Städte, Gemeinden, Quartier und Regionen ( Ka-
pitel 0) und schliesslich in der Kommunikation von EnergieSchweiz ( Kapitel 8). Die Verankerung
von Klimaschutz in der Strategie von EnergieSchweiz ermöglicht eine Gesamtsicht der beiden zent-
ralen Themen Energie und Klimaschutz. Sie ist themat isch naheliegend, aus Ressourcensicht ziel-
führend und für die Kommunikation gegenüber Dritten sinnvoll. Für verschiedene Zielgruppen er-
schliesst sich die Rel evanz von Energieeffizienz und e rneuerbarer Energie einfacher , wenn über die
Klimaziele argumentier t wird.
7.4 Digitalisierung
7.4.1 Ausgangslage
Die Digitalisierung umfasst eine Reihe von IKT -, Hardware - oder Softwaretechnologien, die eine
große Menge digitaler Daten erzeugen und/oder verwenden, um Wert zu schaffen. Dazu gehören
beispielsweise vernetzte Geräte (Internet of Things, IoT), Roboter, Big Data und künstliche Intelli-
genz, API, Cloud - und Edge -Computing, Blockchain -Transaktionen sowie Plattformen, die die Pro-
duzenten und Benutzer vernetzen oder die verschiedene Dienste auf virtuellen Marktplätzen anbie-
ten (Everything as a Service).
Der Einsatz digitaler Technologien im Energiesektor wird in Zukunft noch schneller voranschreiten,
da technische Standards Cybersicherheit gewährleisten und klare Regeln für den Datenschutz ent-
wickelt werden. Langfristig wird der Betrieb des dezentralen Stromnetzes der Zukunft, d.h. des in-
telligenten Stromnetzes (Smart Grid) und seiner Konvergenz mit anderen Energienetzen durch di-
gitale Technologien sichergestellt. 58
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Durch die Entwicklungen der Digitalisierung kann der Stromverb rauch zunehmen. Allerdings wird
sich EnergieSchweiz bemühen, diesen Effekt zu minimieren. Nichtsdestotrotz bietet die Digitalisie-
rung in den Themengebieten Energieeffizienz und erneuerbare Energien viele Möglichkeiten. Einige
davon sind in folgender Liste festgehalten:
Energieoptimierung: Dank intelligenten Zählern (Smart Meter) und anderen Sensoren wird es
nicht nur möglich sein, die Energieflüsse und den Verbrauch angeschlossener Geräte und An-
lagen zu visualisieren, sondern auch detaillierte D aten zu gen erieren, mit welchen Effizienzpo-
tenziale aufgezeigt werden können. Diese Daten werden anschliessend zur Entwicklung digi-
taler Produkte und Dienstleistungen zur Betriebsoptimierung und zur Senkung des Energie-
verbrauchs verwendet. Z udem können Anwendungen zu r Effizienzsteigerung von Wohn - oder
Geschäftsgebäuden (Smart -Home, Smart -Building) sowie von Produktions - oder Logistikpro-
zessen (Industrie 4.0) in Betracht gezogen werden.
Cloud -Dienste: In Haushalten und Büros führt die Miniaturisierung und Effizienzste igerung von
IKT- und Freizeitelektronikgeräten in Kombination mit digitalen Anwendungen oder Diensten
für den Fernzugriff zu Energieeinsparungen, da weniger physische Ressourcen benötigt wer-
den, um bestimmte Aufgaben auszuführen.
Speicherung und Abstimmung von Netzwerken: In Gebäuden können große, angeschlossene
Elektrogeräte (Wärmepumpen, Warmwasserbereiter, Batterien und eventuell Haushaltsge-
räte) in Bilanzkreisen zusammengefasst werden. Dadurch dienen sie der Stabilisierung des
Stromnetzes und vermeiden eine Netze rweiterung. Elektroautos spielen eine Rolle als Spei-
cherelement in einem durch Algorithmen gesteuerten intelligenten Stromnetz.
Eigenverbrauch und neue Geschäftsmodelle: In Gebäuden oder Quartieren werden Ener-
gieman agementsysteme den Eigenverbrauch und die Speicherung von lokal erzeugter erneu-
erbarer Energie optimieren und die Integration der Infrastruktur in das intelligente Stromnetz
sicherstellen. Dank Peer -to-Peer -Transaktionen können die Prosumer ihre überschüss ige
Energie dann auf speziellen Marktplattformen vermarkten.
Intelligente Mobilität: Im Bereich Mobilität bietet die Digitalisierung viel Effizienz potenzial . Es
werden Lösungen zur Verkehrsoptimierung und zur Reduktion der Anzahl zugelassener Fahr-
zeuge entwickelt. Beispielsweise gibt es multimodale Plattformen, die es den Verbrauchern
ermöglichen, je nach Bedarf unterschiedliche Verkehrsmittel (Züge, Busse, Autos usw.) zu nut-
zen und nur für die in Anspruch genommenen Dienste zu zahlen.
Intelligente Städte: In Städten, Gemeinden und Regionen sorgen neue digitale Dienste für ein
effizienteres Management von öffentlichen Gebäuden, Infrastruktur, Verkehr, Abfall, Industrie-
dienstleistungen usw.
Innovation: In allen Energiebereichen wird die Verfügbarkeit vieler D aten aus unterschiedlichen
Quellen, kombiniert mit den Möglichkeiten der Bearbeitung durch intelligente Algorithmen, In-
novation en ermöglichen . Durch flexible digitale Lösungen und Skaleneffekte entstehen neue
Geschäftsmodelle, die Energieeinsparungen einfa cher und vorteilhafter machen. Dazu gehö-
ren zum Beispiel neue Energiedienstleistungen (Contracting, maßgeschneiderte Lösungen
usw.), die es Einzelpersonen sowie Unternehmen und Behörden ermöglichen, ihren Energie-
verbrauch ohne große finanzielle Investition en zu senken. 59
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
7.4.2 Ziele
EnergieSchweiz setzt sich die folgenden Ziele:
Technologische Trends (nationale und internationale) und digitale Innovationen werden in Zu-
sammenarbeit mit relevanten Partnern identifiziert , welche Einfluss auf ihre prioritären Hand-
lungsfelder haben. Dazu gehört auch die Früherkennung von Pfadabhängigkeiten , um zeitnah
und effizient reagieren zu können.
Diejenigen Trends werden unterstützt, genutzt oder entwickelt , die möglicherweise zu den Zie-
len der Energiestrategie 2050 beitragen.
7.4.3 Massnahmen
Für die Erreichung der aufgestellten Ziele setzt EnergieSchweiz insbesondere folgende Massnahmen
um:
Regelmässige Prüfung der Entwicklung von digitalen Technologien und ihrer Auswirkung auf
Effizienz oder Entwicklung erneuerbarer Energien: Dies b etrifft insbesondere Projekte im Zu-
sammenhang mit Energieoptimierung, Cloud -Diensten, Netzwerkspeicherung und -optimie-
rung, Eigenverbrauch und neuen Geschäftsmodellen, intell igenter Mobilität, intelligenten Städ-
ten und Innovation.
Entwicklung von auf die n euen Trends und Entwicklungen angepassten Sensibilisierungs - und
Informationskampagnen, die a uf die Bevölkerung oder Unternehmen ausgerichtet sind.
Entwicklung von auf die neuen Trends und Entwicklungen angepassten Massnahmen im The-
mengebiet Aus- und Weit erbildung, z.B. Fachschulungen
Entwicklung eines Digitalisierungsradars, der die digitalen Produkte und Dienstleistungen im
Schweizer Energiesektor beobachtet und präsentiert.
7.5 Innovation
7.5.1 Ausgangslage
EnergieSchweiz will neues m arktfähig machen und ist bestrebt, Themen und Projekte mit möglichst
grossem Potenzial in den Themengebieten Energieeffizienz und erneuerbare Energie zu fördern
und die Mittel möglichst effizient und effektiv einzusetzen. In einer dynamischen Umgebung braucht
es dazu einen Innovat ionsprozess , der Chancen und Gefahren frühzeitig erkennt und adressiert. Es
ist wichtig, dass die Fördermöglichkeiten von EnergieSchweiz möglichst vielen potentiellen Partnern
bekannt sind, um aus einem breiten Reservoir von Projekten schöpfen zu können.
Gerade in dynamischen Zeiten ist diese Weitsicht besonders wichtig. Die Geschwindigkeit, mit der
sich aktuell Technologien, Prozesse und Rahmenbedingungen in der Energiewirtschaft ändern, paart
sich mit der rasanten Entwicklung der Digitalisierung und führt zu einer noch höheren Dynamik.
Im Markt stehen etablierte Technologien (z.B. f ossile Heizungen) alternativen Technologien gegen-
über (z.B. erneuerbar es Heizen). Diese innovativen Technologien zu bestimmen und zu fördern , ist
eine der Aufgaben von EnergieSc hweiz . 60
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
7.5.2 Ziele
EnergieSchweiz setzt sich die folgende n Ziele:
Die besten Projekte am Markt gewinnen an Sichtbarkeit und werden umgesetzt.
Relevante Entwicklungen werden frühzeitig und mit einem genügend langen Outlook wahrge-
nommen, um darauf reagieren zu können.
7.5.3 Massnahmen
Quellen der Innovation sind EnergieSchweiz und ihre internen und externen Organisationen: Das
Bundesamt für Energie , andere Bundesstellen sowie das Partnernetzwerk von EnergieSchweiz. Der
Pflege u nd Nutzung dieser Quellen soll in Zukunf t mehr Gewicht verliehen werden. Bis zu 5 Prozent
der Ressourcen von EnergieSchweiz sollen dafür aufgewendet werden. EnergieSchweiz setzt ins-
besondere folgende Massnahmen um:
Etablierung eines Scoutings , welches zukünftige Entwicklungen möglichst frühzeit ig erkennt
und beurteilt. Damit kann EnergieSchweiz gegebenenfalls rechtzeitig positive Entwicklungen
unterstützen und auf Entwicklungen aufmerksam machen, die nicht im Sinne der Energiestra-
tegie 2050 wirken .
Optimierung und Ausweitung des Partnernetzwerkes , um alle relevanten Organisationen und
Personen in den Innovationsprozess mit einzuschliessen.
Etablierung eines EnergieSchweiz -Innovationsprozesses, der die effiziente Sammlung und Pri-
orisierung der Innovationen sicherstellt.
Verstärkte Nutzung von themenspezifischen Projektausschreibungen und Wettbewerben, wel-
che nicht nur den Ideentrichter füllen, sondern die Möglichkeit der Projektförderung breiter be-
kannt machen .
Aktives Abschliessen von bestehenden Projekten , um Raum für neue Projek te zu schaffen . Neue
Förderungen werden schon von Anfang an als Projekt mit einem Abschlussdatum geplant .
Das intensivierte Innovationsmanagement ist auch ein Instrument für die regelmässige Neu-Priori-
sierung der Handlungsfelder und Massnahmen von EnergieS chweiz. 61
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Kommunikation
Die Kommunikation von EnergieSchweiz stützt sich auf Artikel 47 des Energiegesetzes und infor-
miert, sensibilisiert und berät die Öffentlichkeit (Private und Unternehmen) und die Behörden über
die freiwilligen Möglichkeiten einer sparsamen und effizienten Energienutzung sowie über die Nut-
zung erneuerbarer Energien. Dabei informiert EnergieSchweiz neben der breiten Öffentlichkeit auch
gezielt spezifische Anspruch sgruppen , wie z um Beispiel Hauseigentümerinnen und Hauseigentü-
mer, Architektinnen und Architekten oder Gemeindeverwaltungen. Dies geschieht in der Regel zu-
sammen mit externen Partnern.
8.1 Ausgangslage
Die Kommunikation von EnergieSchweiz ist über die letzten Jahre anspruch svoller und damit rele-
vanter geworden. Der rasche Takt des Technol ogie- und Knowh ow-Wandels lässt Wissen schneller
veralten. Das bestätigen Umfragen , wie z.B. der Kundenbarometer der HSG. Die Realisation von
Projekten in den Themengebieten Energieeffizienz und erneuerbare Energie n wird komplexer und
dadurch steigt auch der Kommunikationsa ufwand , um die Inhalte zielgruppen gerecht zu vermitteln.
Hier wird der Einbezug von Mittlern , wie z.B. Verbänden , immer wichtiger.
Gleichzeitig nehmen die Vielfalt an Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten und die Ansprüche der Zielgrup-
pen zu. Zielgruppen suchen ihre Inhalte nicht mehr über Marken, sondern über Google und Social
Media und bewegen sich in individuellen Communities. Google, YouTube und die verschied enen
Social -Media -Kanäle , wie Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. , haben sich in unserem Alltag etabliert
und sind nicht mehr wegzudenken aus der heutigen Mediennutzung. Google führt heutzutage 91. 5
Prozent aller Internetsuchen durch. Von diesen werden 60 Prozent über Mobilgeräte durchgeführt .
Aufgrund der vielfältigen Suchmöglichkeiten gelangen die User direkt zu spezifischen Subseiten
und nicht auf Einstiegsseiten.
Der enge Fokus auf einzelne Kommunikationsk anäle scheint immer weniger zielführend . Die Gren-
zen zwischen Facebook, Instagram, dem Facebook Messenger und bald auch WhatsApp ver-
schwimmen für User immer mehr. Grundsätzlich geht es daher nicht mehr um Plattformen, sondern
um den Einzelinhalt, der idealerweise über alle verfügbaren Plattformen verbrei tet wird und dadurch
das User -Engagement erhöht.
Fortschrittliche System e können heutzutage das User -Engagement und die am besten funktionie-
renden Inhalte in Realtime erheben. Diese Einblicke ( Insights ) führen zu einer laufenden Anpassung
der Inhalte. Das bedeutet, dass funktionierende Inhalte stetig optimiert und nicht Anklang findende
Inhalte verworfen werden . Die Zukunft führt gemäss der Studie „Medientrends der Deutschschweiz
2018“ von SRF über digitales Storytelling. Ein wirklicher Mehrwert für die Nutzerinnen und Nutzer
wird durch qualitativ hochwertige n Inhalt generiert .
Durch diese Entwicklungen ändert sich die Relevanz von EnergieSchweiz. Nicht mehr die Bekannt-
heit de r Marke, sondern deren Image (Vertrauen, Neutralität , Relevanz ) ist wichtig . Die einzelnen
Projekte müssen bei den entsprechenden Zielgruppen bekannt sein, bzw. die benötigten Inhalte 62
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
müssen über suchoptimierte Plattformen einfach und gezielt gefunden werden (search engine opti-
mization SEO/ search engine adverti sing SEA) .
Eine wachsende Herausforderung stellen die politischen Sensibilität en der kommunizierten Inhalte
dar. Sie stehen im Spannungsfeld von Befürwortern und Gegnern der Energiestrategie 2050. Spe-
ziell im Bereich Kommunikation kann das zu Angriffen führen.
Die Erfahrung zeigt, dass gemeinsame Themen über Partnerschaften (Public Private Partnership)
effizienter und effektiver vermittelt werden können. Dabei übernehmen die Partner ein en relevanten
Anteil der Kosten, stellen ihr Netzwerk zur Verfügung u nd bringen ihr Knowh ow ein. Die Partner-
schaft selbst zeigt auch, dass für den Markt relevante Themen adressiert werden.
8.2 Ziele
EnergieSchweiz verfolgt die folgenden Ziele:
Die Kommunikation ist weitgehend an den prioritären Handlungsfeldern orientiert .
Die Kommunikation ist z ielgruppenorientiert in Inhalt, Sprache und Kanäle (Relevanz) aber frei
zugänglich .
Information wird effizient und verhaltensorientiert vermittelt .
Die Kommunikation unterstützt die Werte Neutralität, Vertrauen, Professionalität, und Relevanz.
Die Kommunikation zieht wo sinnvoll die Partner (andere Ämter, Verbände, Vereine) mit ein .
Alle geförderten Projekte vermitteln ihre Erfahrungen aktiv , um einen möglichst breiten Nutzen
der Projekterfahrungen sicher zu stelle n.
Die Kommunikation ist flexibel und richtet sich rasch an neuen Bedürfnissen und Kommunika-
tionsmöglichkeiten (Kanäle n, Partner n, Messresultate n) aus .
8.3 Massnahmen
Um die oben dargestellten Ziele zu erreichen, werden insbesondere folgende Massnahmen in An-
griff genommen:
Festlegung der Kommunikationsplanung in Abstimmung mit den Verantwortlichen der Hand-
lungsfelder und laufende Anpassung an sich verändernde Kommunikationsbedürfnisse
Definition der Zielgruppen und Einordnung dieser bezüglich Verhaltensoptionen (Bedürfnisse
und Hemmnisse) f ür jede s Kommunikation sprojekt . Dafür stehen entsprechende Hilfsmittel be-
reit, u.a. Massnahmen zur Beseitigung von allfällige n Hemmnissen.
Orientierung der Informationsbereitstellung a m Suchverhalten der Zielgruppen: Entsprechend e
Neugestaltung des Webangebot s, erleichterte Suche und Auffindbarkeit (Themencluster,
SEO) und Lenkung der Aufmerksamkeit auf viel gesuchten Content (SEA)
Allfällige Ergänzung der digitale n Informationsvermittlung durch analoge Medien (Inserate, Zei-
tung, Broschüren) und einer Infol ine (Anfragen per Telefon oder E -Mail)
Führung der digitale n Kommunikation von EnergieSchweiz unter der Prämisse Mobile First :
Dies entspricht h eute der mit Abstand häufigsten Nutzungsart. 63
Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Laufende Analyse der Nutzung des Inform ationsangebot s und entsprechende Anpassung der
Kommunikation
Übernahme von übergeordneten Kommunikationsaufgaben durch den Brand EnergieSchweiz
als Dach - und Qualitätsmarke (Rolle als Absender ).
Prioritäre Behandlung von Projekte n mit allfälligen eigenen Projektmarken : Diese können auch
eine Koproduktion mit Partnern sein bzw. können deren Brand mit einbeziehen.
Bevorzugung von p artnerschaftliche r Realisation, um Effizienz und Effektivität zu gewährleisten.
Verstärkter Einbezug von Social Media in die Inf ormationsvermittlung für ein z ielgruppenorien-
tiertes Vorgehen: Social Media wird dabei auch als Sensor für die Bedürfnisse der Zielgruppen
eingesetzt . Die dazu notwendigen Fähigkeiten werden intern und extern aufgebaut.

Programmstrategie Energie -Schweiz 2021 bis 20 30
Zusammenarbeit mit Partnern
EnergieSchweiz setzt die Massnahmen in der Regel in Zusammenarbeit mit Partnern aus der Privat-
wirtschaft, Verbänden und der öffentlichen Hand um. Dazu führt EnergieSchweiz derzeit ein Portfolio
von rund 800 Projekten. Die Zusammenarbeit ist notwendig, um d ie Ziele von EnergieSchweiz über-
haupt erst zu erreichen. Zusammen mit den Partnern bildet das Programm die wichtigste zentrale
Plattform in der Schweiz, in der sich die Akteure für Information, Beratung und Aus - und Weiterbildung
im Bereich Energie vernetz en und untereinander koordinieren.
Partner von EnergieSchweiz zeichnen sich durch folgende Eigenschaften aus:
Begründete Bereitschaft und Interessen: Sie sind bereits in den Handlungsfeldern von Ener-
gieSchweiz aktiv oder sind interessiert und motiviert, da rin Massnahmen zu entwickeln.
Stellenwert bei Zielgruppen: Sie verfügen über wichtige Kanäle, um mit grosser Reichweite auf
Zielgruppen (Endkunden sowie allenfalls auf Mittler und Multiplikatoren) zuzugehen.
Know -How: Sie verfügen über wichtige Kenntnisse und Fähigkeiten in einem Handlungsfeld
von EnergieSchweiz (Technologien, Märkte, Prozesse, u.a.).
Finanzielle und personelle Ressourcen: Sie verfügen über finanzielle und personelle Ressour-
cen und entwickeln Aktivitäten, die entweder ohne Mittel von Energi eSchweiz finanziert sind,
oder welche von EnergieSchweiz ergänzend finanziert werden.
Nicht zwingend Partner sind somit: die einzelnen Zielgruppen der Aktivitäten von EnergieSchweiz (Pri-
vate, Unternehmen, öffentliche Hand); Auftrag - oder Subventionsnehmer, die punktuell mit Energie-
Schweiz Projekte durchführen oder für EnergieSchweiz punktuell Leistungen erbringen. Auch gilt wei-
terhin das Projekt - und nicht Agenturmodell, d.h. Partner engagieren sich mit EnergieSchweiz in zeit-
lich und thematisch abgegrenzten Projekten.
Von besonderer Bedeutung sind für EnergieSchweiz Akteure, die in den zentralen Handlungsfeldern
tätig sind bzw. sein könnten oder die besonders geeignet sind, Innovationen auszulösen. Energie-
Schweiz wird hierzu proaktiv mögliche neue Partner a nsprechen. Interessierte Verbände und Stellen
können laufend mit EnergieSchweiz Kontakt aufnehmen.
EnergieSchweiz bietet den Partnern eine Reihe von Vorteilen:
Die Partner sind Teil eines Netzwerks und profitieren vom fachlichen Austausch, dem Vermei-
den vo n Doppelspurigkeiten und der Nutzung von Synergien.
EnergieSchweiz erhöht die Sichtbarkeit und Glaubwürdigkeit der Aktivitäten von Partnern (z.B.
als Patronat).
EnergieSchweiz leistet einen Beitrag zur Sicherung der Qualität der Projekte.
Wo nötig kann Ene rgieSchweiz einzelne Projekte mit Förderbeiträgen unterstützen oder ein-
zelne Grundlagen erarbeiten lassen.
Partner haben die Möglichkeit, an den Themen von EnergieSchweiz mitzuarbeiten. Energie-
Schweiz stellt den Partnern auch die langfristigen und strategi schen Themen rund um die Wei-
terentwicklung der Handlungsfelder und Querschnittsthemen zur Diskussion.
Und schliesslich werden Partner auf weitere Angebote des BFE hingewiesen (z.B. Veranstal-
tungen, Referate).
EnergieSchweiz ist politisch neutral und verfolgt Partnerschaften breit und in Hinblick auf die Ziele und
Qualität von Projekten und des Austausches. Gegenüber den Partnern setzt EnergieSchweiz auf offene
und verbindliche Kommunikation, auf transparente und klare Abläufe sowie auf Gleichbehandlun g. 65

After reviewing the provided links, here's a summary of Switzerland's energy-related policies: 1. Energy Strategy 2050: Switzerland's Federal Council developed the "Energy Strategy 2050" in response to the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011. The strategy aims to reduce energy consumption, increase energy efficiency, and promote renewable energies. It also plans to gradually phase out nuclear power. The strategy is based on amending the Energy Act (EnA) and implementing a series of measures, including building regulations, requirements for appliances, and support for renewable energies. 2. CO2 Act: The CO2 Act in Switzerland aims to reduce CO2 emissions and contribute to global efforts to limit climate change. The act was first introduced in 1999 and has been revised multiple times to set stricter emission targets. The most recent revision in 2021 set a goal to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. The act includes measures such as a CO2 levy on fossil fuels, emission standards for cars, and a climate cent on airline tickets. 3. Promotion of Renewable Energy: Switzerland promotes the use of renewable energy through feed-in tariffs and investment aid. The government supports the production of electricity from hydro, wind, solar, and geothermal energy, as well as from biomass and waste. The goal is to increase the share of renewable energy in the electricity mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. 4. Energy Efficiency: Switzerland has implemented various measures to improve energy efficiency. For example, the government has set minimum energy performance standards for appliances and vehicles, and introduced building regulations to reduce energy consumption in buildings. The government also promotes the use of energy-efficient technologies and practices in industries. 5. Nuclear Energy Policy: Switzerland has decided to gradually phase out nuclear energy. The country will not build new nuclear power plants and will shut down existing ones at the end of their safe operational life. The government is also investing in research and development of new energy technologies as alternatives to nuclear power. 6. International Cooperation: Switzerland is actively involved in international energy cooperation. The country is a member of the International Energy Agency (IEA) and participates in various international energy forums and initiatives. Switzerland also supports energy projects in developing countries through its international cooperation programs. 7. Regulatory Framework: The Swiss Federal Electricity Commission (ElCom) is responsible for regulating the electricity market, ensuring non-discriminatory access to the grid, and monitoring electricity supply security. The Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) is responsible for implementing the government's energy policy. In conclusion, Switzerland's energy policies focus on reducing energy consumption, promoting renewable energies, improving energy efficiency, phasing out nuclear power, and reducing CO2 emissions. The country has set clear targets and implemented various measures to achieve these goals.

Summary of Energy Related Policies in Switzerland: 1. The Swiss government implemented the Stromversorgungsgesetz (StromVG) in 2004, which aimed to open up the Swiss electricity market. It included provisions for the gradual liberalization of the market, starting with larger consumers and eventually extending to households. 2. The StromVG also introduced measures to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency. It set a target for the increase of renewable energy generation by at least 5.4 billion kilowatt-hours by 2030, which is equivalent to around 10% of the current electricity consumption. 3. The Swiss government established EnergieSchweiz as a central platform for raising awareness, providing information, and offering advice on energy efficiency and renewable energy. EnergieSchweiz focuses on three priority areas: building efficiency and renewable energy for households, mobility for households and businesses, and industrial and service sector processes. 4. EnergieSchweiz aims to reduce non-price barriers and transaction costs that hinder energy efficiency measures and the use of renewable energy. It works with private households, businesses, and the public sector to promote behavioral changes and the adoption of energy-efficient technologies. 5. The program emphasizes collaboration with partners, including cantons, cities, municipalities, and other stakeholders. It also supports research and innovation in the energy sector, with a focus on market-ready solutions and the creation of sustainable jobs. 6. EnergieSchweiz is regularly evaluated to ensure its effectiveness and to adapt to changing market dynamics and technological advancements. It prioritizes flexibility and agility in responding to new developments in the energy market. 7. The program is aligned with the goals of the Swiss Energy Strategy 2050, which aims to reduce energy consumption, increase the share of renewable energy, and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. 8. EnergieSchweiz collaborates with other government agencies, such as the Federal Office for the Environment (BAFU) and the Federal Office for Roads (ASTRA), to integrate climate protection measures and address the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Overall, Switzerland's energy policies focus on market liberalization, promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders to achieve sustainable energy goals.

In this analysis, we begin with the end goal in mind: net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2050, and use our models to identify pathways to that point. This is a different approach compared to past versions of the report where we ran our models without restrictions, giving us insights into what a given premise meant for the future. In this report we explore a key question about Canada’s energy future: what could reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 look like? This report is not a prediction or a recommendation. It presents net-zero scenarios that can help Canadians and policy makers see what a net-zero world could look like, visualize the goal, and make informed decisions.I am proud to introduce the 2023 edition of Canada’s Energy Future—our most ambitious report yet, and the Canada Energy Regulator’s (CER) first long-term outlook modeling net-zero by 2050 1 2 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORWe know that modeling the pathways to net-zero is a big challenge. Canada’s energy system is complex and diverse, and how we produce and use energy in net-zero world will be dramatically different than it is today. As you’ll read in this report, there are some key components of this dramatically different world: • Electricity becomes the cornerstone of the net-zero energy system. Devices that we use every day that use fossil fuels are replaced by technologies that use electricity. By 2050, technologies like electric vehicles and heat pumps become commonplace. • Low-carbon fuels like hydrogen and biofuels enable the energy system’s path to net-zero, while carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) helps to reduce emissions in many industries and the power generation sector. • In a future with ambitious global climate action, global demand for fossil fuels falls steeply, reducing oil and natural gas prices and Canadian production of those commodities. Uncertainty is inherent in all energy modeling exercises, including EF2023. And I am sure not everyone will agree with the assumptions we made, nor our findings. To address uncertainty about the future, we look at three scenarios in EF2023, two of which explore net-zero. We also introduce five additional “What if” cases that ask how changing some of our assumptions could impact Canada’s pathway to net-zero. Our analysis is a means to understand what the future could look like under a certain premise and set of assumptions. Relying on just one scenario to understand the energy future implies too much certainty about what could happen. 3 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIt is important to state that the pathway to net-zero is broader than the technical and economic considerations that are the primary focus of EF2023. Policy choices, the regulatory landscape, Canada's journey towards Reconciliation, and societal preferences will each play a critical role in Canada’s energy future. EF2023 is another step in the CER’s net-zero modeling journey. We continue to learn and look forward to building on this report in the years to come. The CER’s energy information work is a key part of our mandate as an independent regulatory body. We do not develop government policies nor assess the appropriateness of such policies, and the assumptions, narrative, and results in EF2023 do not represent an official government position or policy direction. Canada’s Energy Future contributes analysis and data to help inform Canada’s energy dialogue for policy makers, the energy industry, and Canadians looking to make informed energy choices. Additional CER work is underway to support Canada’s emission reduction ambitions, beyond the energy information we provide to Canadians. For example, in collaboration with Natural Resources Canada, we are working to develop a regulatory framework for renewable energy projects and power lines in Canada’s offshore areas, an activity within the CER’s regulatory responsibility. We are also working to make sure we are ready to oversee the transportation of hydrogen by pipeline should such a facility be proposed within the CER’s jurisdiction. In addition, we recently updated the GHG emissions and climate change information that companies need to provide the CER when they are seeking approval for a project.Consultation and collaboration have always been key to the success of the Canada’s Energy Future series. Our work is better when we hear the perspectives of others. Over the past 18 months we have sought advice and feedback from experts within the federal government, particularly Natural Resources Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada. We also sought advice from some of the top energy system modeling experts outside of government, both in Canada and internationally. Finally, many experts responded to a technical discussion paper and survey on our preliminary approach. I would like to thank all of those who participated in these activities. I would like to close by thanking the dedicated staff at the CER who contributed to EF2023. This report is the CER’s latest contribution to the very important public dialogue on what the pathways to net-zero might look like. I am excited to share these scenarios with Canadians and look forward to the interesting discussions ahead as we navigate Canada’s dynamic energy future. Gitane De Silva, Chief Executive Officer Canada Energy Regulator4 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORExecutive Summary Canada’s Energy Future 2023: Energy Supply and Demand Projections to 2050 (EF2023) is the latest long-term energy outlook from the Canada Energy Regulator (CER). The Canada’s Energy Future series explores how possible energy futures might unfold for Canadians over the long term. EF2023 focuses on the challenge of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. We explore net-zero scenarios to help Canadians and policy makers see what a net-zero world could look like, visualize the goal, and make informed decisions. Our scenarios cover all energy commodities and all Canadian provinces and territories. We use economic and energy models to do this analysis. The results in EF2023 are not predictions about the future, nor are they policy recommendations . Rather, they are the product of scenarios based on a specific premise and set of assumptions. Relying on just one scenario to understand the energy outlook implies too much certainty about what could happen in the future. 5 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIn EF2023 the end point of our analysis is predetermined: net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. We then explore the question, “what might a pathway to that end point look like?” Previous Canada’s Energy Future reports contained scenarios assessing how varying levels of future climate action might affect Canada’s energy future. In those reports, we did not limit the outcome of our scenarios based on a particular goal or target. EF2023 contains three scenarios: Global Net-zero, Canada Net-zero, and Current Measures In the Global Net-zero Scenario, we assume Canada achieves net-zero emissions by 2050. We also assume the rest of the world reduces emissions enough to limit global warming to 1.5 Celsius (°C). In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, Canada also achieves net-zero emissions by 2050, but the rest of the world moves more slowly to reduce GHG emissions. The pace of action outside of Canada to reduce GHG emissions is the main difference between the net-zero scenarios in EF2023. As a trading nation, what happens globally affects Canada’s economy and energy system. EF2023 focuses on Canada, and we do not model global energy markets for the scenarios. Instead, international factors relevant to the Canadian energy outlook, such as global prices for crude oil and natural gas, and costs for many low-carbon technologies, are inputs into our models. For some of these inputs, we rely on scenarios from the International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook 2022. The third scenario, the Current Measures Scenario, assumes limited action in Canada to reduce GHG emissions beyond measures in place today and does not require that Canada achieve net-zero emissions. In this scenario we also assume limited future global climate action. Figure ES.1 shows the three scenarios. 6 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORFigure ES.1: Illustration of the scenarios in EF2023 Five “What if” cases explore uncertainties on the path to net-zero In addition to the three main scenarios in EF2023, you will find five cases in this report that ask: “What if?” There are many uncertainties on the pathway to net-zero. These cases explore some of them by changing some key assumptions in EF2023 and showing what it could mean for Canada’s pathway to net-zero. • What if the technologies to enable wide-scale adoption of hydrogen are more or less costly? • What if small modular reactor (SMR) technology matures less quickly and is more costly? • What if direct air capture (DAC) technology matures more quickly and is less costly? • What if carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology does not mature as quickly and is more costly? • What if electricity vehicle charging patterns result in higher peak electricity demand?7 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIn our net-zero scenarios, the types of energy Canadians use changes dramatically, including using a lot more electricity.1Key Findings The energy system in 2050 is very different than it is today in both of our net-zero scenarios. We project that electricity becomes the most important end-use energy source while the use of fossil fuels falls significantly. As shown in Figure ES.2, electricity, hydrogen, and biofuels make up a much greater share of energy use. By 2050, we project that electricity makes up 41% of total end-use energy consumption in the Global Net- zero Scenario, and 39% in the Canada Net-zero Scenario, up from 17% in 2021. Hydrogen and biofuels emerge as important alternatives when electricity may not be the best option to use, for example in heavy freight transportation, aviation, or certain industrial processes. By 2050, hydrogen makes up 12% of the energy mix and biofuels make up another 13% in the Global Net-zero Scenario. With greater use of low and non-emitting energy sources, fossil fuel use drops by 65% from 2021 to 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario, and by 56% in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. Fossil fuels still play an important part in the energy system, with much of the fossil fuel in 2050 used at industrial facilities outfitted with carbon capture technology, or for non- energy use like asphalt, lubricants, and petrochemicals. 8 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIn both net-zero scenarios, electricity use more than doubles from 2021 to 2050, becoming the dominant energy source in the energy system. This is because many energy technologies we use today are steadily replaced with devices that do the same things but use electricity instead, like electric vehicles replacing vehicles with internal combustion engines and heat pumps replacing gas and oil furnaces. Many industries, like iron and steel and manufacturing, also switch to using more electricity. Finally, producing hydrogen and capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the atmosphere further increase electricity use later in the projection period. In many instances, using electricity is much more efficient than using fossil fuels, and contributes to energy use decreasing by 22% from 2021 to 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario. Figure ES.3 shows electricity use by sector in the Global Net- zero Scenario. While the types of fuels and technologies that shape our energy system change considerably over the next 27 years, we project little change to the energy services Canadians receive in both net-zero scenarios. Energy services are not the energy or technologies we use, but rather the things that energy enables us to do, like heat our homes, travel from place to place, or run equipment at a business. In 2050, Canadians continue to comfortably heat and cool their homes, get around how they prefer, and have their electricity needs met.Figure ES.2: End-use energy use, by fuel, all scenarios Figure ES.3: Electricity use by sector, Global Net-zero Scenario 9 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORThe electricity system, which decarbonizes by 2035 and achieves net-negative emissions thereafter, is the backbone of our net-zero scenarios.2 In both net-zero scenarios, the electricity sector transforms to accommodate increasing electricity use while also rapidly decarbonizing electricity production. By 2050 in both net-zero scenarios, more than 99% of electricity is from non- or low-emission technologies. We project that wind, nuclear power, hydro, natural gas with CCUS, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), and solar make up most of the new generation growth over the projection period. Meanwhile, fossil fuel generation without CCUS declines swiftly in response to increasingly strong climate policies. The sector achieves net-zero emissions by 2035 and becomes net-negative thereafter, a result of using BECCS. Canada’s electricity system is regionally diverse, with the generation mix largely determined by the resources available in each province or territory. Many regions already have low-emitting electricity systems while others rely more on fossil fuels. This variation means that the transition of the electricity sector in each region is unique. Each region capitalizes on their own resources and technological expertise to drive the electricity sector towards net-zero. 10 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORAs shown in Figure ES.4, among all technologies, wind contributes the greatest amount of new generation by 2050, increasing ninefold from current levels in the Global Net-zero Scenario. Wind increases it share of generation in most provinces, with significant growth in Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Ontario. Generation from hydroelectricity, currently the largest source of generation in Canada, increases by 26% from 2021 to 2050, largely in provinces that currently have significant hydroelectric resources already. Natural gas-fired generation with CCUS becomes a key source of power, particularly in Alberta and Saskatchewan, where it makes up 13% of generation in those provinces by 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario. Nuclear generation, in the form of small modular reactors (SMRs), increases significantly in the 2040 to 2050 period, with strong growth in Ontario and deployment in many other provinces. Solar generation increases steadily in both net-zero scenarios, making up 5% of total generation by 2050. We project that the electricity sector reaches net-zero GHG emissions by 2035 in both net-zero scenarios and, after that, becomes net-negative due the use of BECCS. Negative emissions are achieved by burning biomass to generate power and then capturing and permanently storing the CO2 which would otherwise be released naturally when the plants die. By 2050, net emissions from the power sector are -36 megatonnes (MT) in the Global Net-zero Scenario, as shown in Figure ES.5.Figure ES.4: Change in electricity generation from 2021 to 2050, by fuel, Global Net-zero Scenario Figure ES.5: GHG emissions from the electricity sector, by fuel, Global Net-zero Scenario 11 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOR A portfolio of emerging technologies plays a key role in our net-zero scenarios, especially to address more difficult-to-reduce emissions.3 For some energy uses, switching to electricity is not possible or less effective than other low- or non-emitting options. In both net-zero scenarios, a portfolio of options plays important supporting roles, including CCUS, hydrogen, negative emission technologies and nature- based solutions. As shown in Figure ES.6, CCUS is used to capture CO2 emissions from the electricity, heavy industry, and oil and gas sectors in both net-zero scenarios. By 2050, nearly 60 MT of CO2 are captured from these sectors using CCUS in the Global Net-zero Scenario, which is about 9% of Canada’s total GHG emissions in 2021. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, almost 80 MT of CO2 are captured by 2050, as there are more emissions to be captured from the greater amount of fuel used to produce oil and natural gas. 12 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORA robust hydrogen economy develops in both net- zero scenarios. Most hydrogen is used in heavy freight vehicles and in industries like chemicals, iron and steel, and petroleum refining. We project hydrogen use reaches over 8.5 MT by 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario, or 12% of total energy use. We also assume an additional 5 MT of hydrogen exports in the Global Net-zero Scenario. Combined, Canada produces nearly 14 MT of hydrogen by 2050 in the Global Net- zero scenario, and slightly more in the Canada Net- zero Scenario. We project hydrogen production from a variety of technologies including using natural gas as a feedstock along with CCUS, electrolysis using water and electricity, and biomass-based processes, as shown in Figure ES.7. Biomass-based hydrogen production, when coupled with CCUS, results in net- negative GHG emissions much like BECCS electricity generation. Despite all sectors significantly reducing emissions, several sectors, like buildings, heavy industry and oil and gas still have positive GHG emissions by 2050 in both net-zero scenarios. Technologies like BECCS and direct air capture, as well as nature-based solutions, result in negative emissions by 2050 in both net-zero scenarios, allowing emissions to balance to zero. By 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario, we project -36 MT net-negative emissions from the electricity sector, -21 MT from hydrogen production using biomass with CCUS, and -46 MT from direct air capture technology. We also assume 50 MT of negative emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF). Figure ES.6: GHG emissions captured and permanently stored from fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes, by sector, Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios Figure ES.7: Hydrogen production by technology, Global Net-zero Scenario 13 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORCanada’s oil and natural gas industry significantly reduces its emissions in our net-zero scenarios and, while production declines, the pace of global climate action determines by how much.4 In both net-zero scenarios, GHG emissions from producing and processing oil and natural gas decrease approximately 90% by 2050 compared to 2021. We project that increasingly strong climate policies result in the adoption of CCUS, technological and process improvements to dramatically reduce methane emissions, efficiency improvements, and reliance on electricity where feasible. Ultimately, falling production in response to much lower crude oil and natural gas prices in the Global Net-zero Scenario is also a key driver of decreasing emissions. In EF2023, the assumptions we make about the price of crude oil and natural gas have the largest impact on our projections for Canadian oil and gas production. Those prices are different in each scenario and are driven by the pace of global climate action in the future and the resulting amount of global demand for oil and natural gas. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, we assume that global prices of oil and natural gas fall steeply in response to declining global demand for fossil fuels over the coming decades. In this scenario, we project that Canadian crude oil production falls to 1.2 million barrels per day (MMb/d) (194 thousand cubic metres per day (10³m³/d)) by 2050, 76% lower than in 2022 as shown in Figure ES.8. As shown in Figure ES.9, natural gas production falls by 68% over the same period, reaching 5.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) (156 million cubic metres per day (106m³/d)) by 2050. 14 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIn the Canada Net-zero Scenario, prices fall less than in the Global Net-zero Scenario, a result of less ambitious global climate action, which results in higher global demand for fossil fuels. We project that oil production falls to 3.9 MMb/d (623 10³m³/d) by 2050, 22% lower than in 2022, and natural gas production falls to 11.0 Bcf/d (310 106m³/d), 37% lower than in 2022. In the Current Measures Scenario, where prices are highest and future climate action is the least ambitious, crude oil and natural gas production are the highest, and so are emissions from the sector. Crude oil production reaches 6.1 MMb/d (964 10³m³/d) by 2050, 20% higher than in 2022. Production of natural gas grows to 21.5 Bcf/d (607 106m³/d), a 24% increase over the projection period. Figure ES.8: Crude oil production, all scenarios Figure ES.9: Natural gas production, all scenarios 15 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORReaching net-zero in our scenarios is driven by increasingly strong climate policies, in Canada and abroad.5 Both the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, a pre-determined outcome given the nature of the analysis. Large emission reductions occur across the economy, with all sectors contributing to achieving net-zero. Figure ES.10 shows emissions by economic sector over the projection period in the Global Net-zero Scenario, with positive emissions from some sectors being offset by negative emissions in other sectors by 2050. The emission trends are similar in the Canada Net- zero Scenario. Continued increases in the strength of climate policies in Canada is the key driver of emission reductions over the coming decades in both net-zero scenarios. Our modeling shows that the pace of climate action in Canada will need to continue to increase in the 2030 to 2050 period in order to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. This is in contrast to the Current Measures Scenario, where domestic climate action does not increase beyond those measures currently in place today. In that scenario, we project that GHG emissions are just 13% lower in 2050 than they were in 2021. Action to reduce emissions globally also plays an important role in our projections and what the paths to net-zero look like in our scenarios. Depending on the scenario, we assume that climate policies around the world drive technological innovation and create markets for low-carbon technologies. This innovation and market development results in our assumption of lower costs and better performance for low emission technologies in the net-zero scenarios. In addition, global climate action also factors into our projections by influencing the prices and exports of energy we produce, which are key drivers of our scenarios. Figure ES.10: GHG emissions by economic sector, Global Net-zero Scenario16 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIntroduction Canada’s Energy Future 2023: Energy Supply and Demand Projections to 2050 (EF2023) is the latest long-term energy outlook from the Canada Energy Regulator (CER). The Canada’s Energy Future series explores how possible energy futures might unfold for Canadians over the long term. We use economic and energy models to explore how supply and demand for energy could evolve. EF2023 is the CER’s first long-term outlook that models scenarios where Canada reaches net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. To model net-zero, we begin with the end goal in mind—net-zero GHG emissions in 2050—and use our models to identify pathways to that point. This is a different approach compared to past versions of the report where we ran our models without restrictions, giving us insights into what a given premise meant for the future. 17 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOREF2023 includes three scenarios, two that reach net-zero by 2050 EF2023 contains three scenarios. Two of these scenarios explore pathways where Canada achieves net-zero emissions by 2050. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, we assume Canada achieves net-zero emissions by 2050. We also assume the rest of the world reduces emissions enough to limit global warming to 1.5 Celsius (°C). In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, Canada also achieves net-zero emissions by 2050 but the rest of the world moves more slowly to reduce GHG emissions. The third scenario, the Current Measures Scenario, assumes limited action to reduce GHG emissions beyond measures in place today. In this scenario, we do not require our modeling results achieve net-zero GHG emissions in Canada by 2050. We also assume limited future global climate action. Five “What if” cases explore uncertainties on the path to net-zero In addition to the three main scenarios in EF2023, you will find five cases in this report that ask: “What if?” There are many uncertainties on the pathway to net-zero. These cases explore some of them by changing some key assumptions in EF2023 and showing what it could mean for Canada’s pathway to net-zero: • What if the technologies to enable wide-scale adoption of hydrogen are more or less costly? • What if small modular reactor (SMR) technology matures less quickly and is more costly? • What if direct air capture (DAC) technology matures more quickly and is less costly? • What if carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology does not mature as quickly and is more costly? • What if electricity vehicle charging patterns result in higher peak electricity demand? 18 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORWe have been working to improve our analytical tools over the past several years to ensure we are up to the challenge of modeling net-zero. In late 2021, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Natural Resources and the Minister responsible for the CER, wrote a letter to the Chairperson of the CER’s Board of Directors, Cassie Doyle. The letter requested that the CER undertake scenario analysis consistent with Canada achieving net-zero emissions1 by 2050 as soon as possible. Minister Wilkinson requested that the analysis: • Include fully modelled scenarios of supply and demand for all energy commodities in Canada. • Be consistent with a global context in which the world achieves its Paris Accord goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C. • Consider relevant uncertainties, including future trends in low-carbon technology and energy markets. In her response, Chairperson Doyle welcomed the clarity provided by the Minister’s letter and confirmed the next Canada’s Energy Future report will include net-zero scenarios. Consultation and collaboration have always been key to the Canada’s Energy Future series. We sought advice and feedback from various experts throughout the process, with the goal of validating our approach, assumptions, and preliminary results to ensure EF2023 was technically robust and credible. Federal departments, particularly Natural Resources Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada, played an important role in supporting the EF2023 analysis. While the CER is ultimately accountable for the content of EF2023, both organizations supported our efforts by contributing substantial technical expertise to the analysis. This collaboration ensured we had the best possible information about the latest technologies and climate policy developments. The CER would like to thank both organizations for their steadfast support in this endeavor. 1 The term “net-zero emissions” refers to a state where human-caused greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are balanced by human-caused removals of GHGs from the atmosphere. GHG emissions include all gases that have heat-trapping potential including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and various other gases. The Canadian Energy Regulator Act (CER Act) is the foundation for nearly all that we do. Our Strategic Plan aligns with the mandate set out in the CER Act and describes our mission as: Regulating federal infrastructure to ensure safe and efficient delivery of energy to Canada and the world, protecting the environment, recognizing, and respecting the rights of the Indigenous Peoples, and providing timely and relevant energy information and analysis. The CER’s Board of Directors sets the strategic direction of our organization. The Board of Directors supported the CER taking on the challenge of modeling net-zero and provided strategic direction for EF2023 throughout the exercise. Core to the governance of our organization is a clear separation between the operational and adjudicative functions of the CER. The CER’s energy information work, which includes EF2023, is separate from the adjudicative role of the Commission of the CER. The Commission is responsible for making independent adjudicative decisions and recommendations pursuant to the CER Act and other legislation. The Commission considers each matter before it based on the evidence parties submit in a proceeding. If a party wishes to rely on material from EF2023 in a regulatory proceeding before the CER, it may submit the material, just as it may submit any public document. Under these circumstances, the submitting party in effect adopts the material and that party could be required to answer questions pertaining to the material.19 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORWe also sought advice from some of the top experts outside of government, both in Canada and internationally. Conversations with experts from organizations like the International Energy Agency , Canadian Climate Institute, and Institut de l’énergie Trottier were instrumental to ensuring our approach was sound. We deeply appreciate their advice. The CER would also like to thank the many experts who responded to a technical discussion paper and survey on our preliminary approach in the Spring of 2022. This early feedback on our project was important in setting the direction of our work. A summary of that engagement is on our website: Discussion Paper Results – A Summary of What we Heard. We base the projections in EF2023 on several important assumptions, which we outline in the Scenarios and Assumptions chapter. The Results chapter describes our projections of the Canadian energy system to 2050 for each of the three scenarios. Finally, the Access and Explore Energy Futures Data chapter links to data, tools, and interactive data visualizations that offer further insight into EF2023.The Scope of EF2023 The projections in EF2023 are based primarily on economic and technical factors. This includes economic activity, relevant policies, technology performance and costs, energy costs, and the characteristics of various energy devices. Our models simulate the decision- making of households and businesses based on those factors, which differ in each of our scenarios. The future of energy in Canada is, however, much broader than the economic and technical factors driving the projections in EF2023 . Many of these are beyond the scope of our analysis. These include evolving societal preferences, regulatory frameworks and decisions, socioeconomic and affordability considerations, and the interaction between the energy transition and Canada's journey towards Reconciliation. An example would be the choices our model makes regarding the type of power generating facilities that might be built to meet growing electricity demand in a given year. Our model simulates what technology is likely to be chosen based on the upfront costs of various options, future fuel costs, the impact on grid stability and any relevant policy considerations, such as carbon pricing. Given our assumptions, the model might suggest that building a wind farm, for example, is the optimal outcome. However, the process to build such a facility would also depend on additional factors like the results of regulatory decision-making and societal viewpoints towards the project. We look at these factors in a general sense to assess if our projections are reasonable, but these factors are not easily accounted for within our energy models or study design, and largely fall outside the scope of EF2023. Another aspect of Canada’s energy future outside the scope of EF2023 is how climate change will impact the economy and energy system. Many of the impacts of climate change on Canada today are described in Canada’s National Adaptation Strategy . These impacts include more frequent and intense weather events, such as floods and heat waves, and more gradual impacts such as permafrost thaw and coastal erosion. According to the United Nations International Panel on Climate Change, global surface temperatures are very likely to increase until at least 2050. This increase suggests that the impacts of climate change on the energy system and economy will increase over the projection period. Our models do not currently account for the wide range of climate impacts on the energy system and economy. 20 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORThis chapter describes the premise of the three scenarios in EF2023. We also describe the assumptions2 of those scenarios. 2 In the context of EF2023, assumptions are inputs to our energy and economic models. Assumptions are often made when a factor is necessary for the analysis but are not something that is explicitly modelled. Modellers often develop different sets of assumptions to generate different scenarios to understand how the energy future might look under different circumstances.Scenarios and Assumptions Scenario premise EF2023 analyzes three scenarios: the Global Net-zero Scenario, the Canada Net-zero Scenario, and the Current Measures Scenario. All three scenarios provide projections for all energy commodities and all Canadian provinces and territories. We developed these scenarios to explore questions that are relevant to the current Canadian energy dialogue, and to depict a range of potential outcomes for the future. 21 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOR. 3 Net-zero GHG emissions means that Canada’s human-caused GHG emissions are balanced by human-caused removals of GHGs from the atmosphere.The premise of each scenario differs based on: • The pace of climate action in Canada (including whether Canada must achieve net-zero emissions by 2050). • The pace of climate action in the rest of the world. Both the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios share the premise that the future pace of climate action in Canada is consistent with Canada reaching net-zero3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2050. Simply put, a key outcome of these scenarios is predetermined: the level of GHG emissions in 2050. We then rely on our energy and economy models to project a pathway for the energy system that is consistent with this outcome. In the Current Measures Scenario, there is no additional action to reduce GHGs beyond those in place today. In this scenario, we do not require our modeling results to achieve net-zero GHG emissions in Canada by 2050. Global climate action affects Canada’s energy system While the pace of domestic climate action is a key part of our scenarios, the pace of action outside of Canada is also important. As a trading nation, what happens globally affects Canada’s economy and energy system. EF2023 focuses on Canada, and we do not model global energy markets. Instead, international factors relevant to the Canadian energy outlook are assumptions, or inputs, that we put into our models. Examples include global prices for crude oil and natural gas, and costs for many low-carbon technologies. While both net-zero scenarios share the same overall premise for achieving net- zero in Canada, they differ based on the pace of global climate action. The Global Net-zero Scenario is based on rapid global climate action: a pace consistent with the world achieving the Paris Agreement goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C, compared to pre-industrial levels. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, the pace of global climate action increases, but not as quickly. Global action in the Current Measures Scenario is the slowest, with limited future global action beyond policies in place today. 22 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORThe IEA’s global outlook is our primary source for international assumptions The primary source for international assumptions in the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios is the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) World Energy Outlook 2022 (WEO2022). Much like the CER’s Canada’s Energy Future report, the IEA’s energy outlook contains multiple long-term scenarios. Published in October 2022, WEO2022 provides robust and transparent projections. Relying on this analysis for the international perspective in EF2023 ensures our assumptions reflect recent international trends and events, including the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the global energy system. While the IEA does model Canada, we do not rely on those results in EF2023. Rather we use the IEA’s projections of key global variables (such as the global crude oil price) as assumptions in EF2023. We describe the specific assumptions we draw from the WEO2022 in the following section, Key Assumptions. The Global Net-zero Scenario uses assumptions from the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario In our Global Net-zero Scenario, we use the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario from WEO2022 as a source for many assumptions. This scenario is described by the IEA as “consistent with limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5°C without a temperature overshoot (with a 50% probability).” As a result, the scenario provides a good basis for ensuring our Global Net-zero Scenario reflects rapid global action to reduce GHG emissions. Figure A.1: Scenarios and assumptions 23 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORThe principles of the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario are summarized below: • The uptake of all the available technologies and emissions reduction options is dictated by costs, technology maturity, policy preferences, and market and country conditions. • All countries co-operate towards achieving net-zero emissions worldwide. • An orderly transition across the energy sector, ensuring the security of fuel and electricity supplies at all times. The Canada Net-zero Scenario uses the IEA’s Announced Pledges Scenario for its international assumptions The Announced Pledges Scenario includes all the climate commitments and longer-term targets made by governments around the world and assumes that they will be met in full and on time. It covers net-zero by 2050 targets from Canada, the United States, the European Union, and others. It also includes targets such as China’s goal to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060, and India’s goal to reach net-zero by 2070. The IEA’s Announced Pledges Scenario models increasing global climate action but is unlikely to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5°C. According to the IEA, the global GHG emissions resulting from this scenario would cause a temperature rise of around 1.7°C by 2100. The premise of the Canada net-zero Scenario is aligned with the Announced Pledges Scenario, with slower climate action outside of Canada than in the Global Net-zero Scenario. The Current Measures Scenario uses other sources for international assumptions The international assumptions of the Current Measures Scenario are not from the WEO2022. Instead, we review global scenario analysis produced by institutions, academia, industry, private forecasters, and other relevant energy analysis, to develop our own assumptions. Figure A.1 summarizes, at a high-level, the premise of the CER’s scenarios, and how they relate to the assumptions in EF2023. The following section, Key Assumptions, describes the assumptions in detail. 24 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOR Different global scenarios modeling a net-zero world For the Global Net-zero Scenario in EF2023, we rely on the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario as a source for international assumptions. We also rely on the IEA’s Announced Pledges Scenario in our Canada Net-zero Scenario. The IEA is an autonomous inter-governmental organization within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development framework. Canada is one of 31 full member countries of the IEA. We chose this approach because the IEA’s global energy outlooks are among the most authoritative analyses of the global energy system. The World Energy Outlook series is publicly available, transparent about its assumptions and modeling approach, and provides significant context to accompany the results. Nearly all of the variables we require for the international assumptions in our own modeling exercise, such as crude oil and natural gas prices and technology costs, are readily available. Other global outlooks were considered for EF2023 There are other energy outlooks that include global net-zero pathways that we considered but ultimately did not use in EF2023. Choosing a different global scenario to rely on would have resulted in different assumptions and outcomes in EF2023. Other global outlooks include the International Renewable Energy Agency World Energy Transitions Outlook, BP Energy Outlook, Shell Scenarios, and Platts Future Energy Outlooks. In addition, as part of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), authors collected and assessed model-based scenarios related to climate change mitigation. The collection of these scenarios is referred to as the AR6 Scenarios Database4. The IEA’s outlook compared to other global pathways to net-zero WEO2022 provides a comparison between the 16 IPCC scenarios that are comparable with the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario outcome of net-zero emissions from the global energy system. It indicates that the IEA’s scenario has lower total energy demand (due to efficiency and electrification), higher wind and solar electricity generation, and higher hydrogen consumption compared to many of the IPCC scenarios. It also shows that the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario has lower levels of bioenergy, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), and energy-related carbon dioxide removals than most of the IPCC scenarios. This does not indicate that the IEA, IPCC or any other scenarios are more reasonable but rather that there is a range of global pathways consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C. 4 The database, and a scenario explorer tool is hosted by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.25 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOR In addition to the three main scenarios in EF2023, you will find five cases in this report that ask: “What if?” There are many uncertainties on the pathway to net-zero. These cases explore some of them by changing key assumptions in EF2023 and showing what it could mean for Canada’s pathway to net- zero: • What if the technologies to enable wide-scale adoption of hydrogen are more or less costly? • What if small modular reactor (SMR) technology matures less quickly and is more costly? • What if DAC technology matures more quickly and is less costly? • What if CCUS technology does not mature as quickly and is more costly? • What if electricity vehicle charging patterns result in higher peak electricity demand? We chose these questions based on the magnitude of the impact these factors could have on the pathway to net-zero, and the level of uncertainty about their future. Why do we do scenario analysis? EF2023, and most previous versions of the report, contain multiple scenarios. Scenario analysis is common in most long-term energy outlooks. We do scenario analysis to explore uncertainties facing the future of the energy system. The results in EF2023 are not predictions about the future. Rather, they are the product of scenarios based on a premise and a certain set of assumptions. Relying on just one scenario to understand the energy outlook implies too much certainty about what could happen in the future. The scenarios in EF2023 explore uncertainty about the future pace of climate action in Canada and around the world. Past versions of the report explored this and other areas of uncertainty using scenarios. Past scenarios focused on energy infrastructure developments, energy prices, economic growth, and technological progress. While scenarios provide a range of potential outcomes for the future, they are also useful to compare against one another. The similarities and differences across the scenarios often provide more useful insights than a single scenario in isolation. 26 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORKey assumptions Domestic climate policy Domestic climate policies include laws, regulations, and programs put in place by governments with the goal of reducing GHG emissions. Such policies can affect the trajectory of Canada’s energy system. We make assumptions about the climate policies we model in each scenario in EF2023. This section outlines some of the key policies we include. Additional details are available in Appendix 1: Domestic Climate Policy Assumptions. Domestic climate policies in the Current Measures Scenario Federal, provincial, and territorial climate policies that are currently in place are the basis of the Current Measures Scenario. A policy is “in place” if it was enacted prior to March 2023. We do not include announced policies that are not yet implemented in the Current Measures Scenario. The Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act (CNZEAA) enshrines in legislation the Government of Canada’s commitment to achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. The CNZEAA does not contain mechanisms that directly influence the energy system like a more typical climate policy might, rather it provides a framework of accountability and transparency to deliver on Canada’s climate commitments. The Current Measures Scenario does not model the CNZEAA.Carbon pricing in EF2023 Pricing carbon pollution is a key existing climate policy in Canada. Canada’s carbon pricing approach allows provinces and territories to choose their own system to price carbon pollution, or to rely on the federal pricing system. The federal pricing system is comprised of two parts, a regulatory charge on fossil fuels like gasoline and natural gas, called the fuel charge, and a performance-based system for industries, called the Output-Based Pricing System. Provinces and territories that develop their own systems must meet minimum national stringency criteria set by the federal government to ensure consistency and fairness. In all instances, mechanisms for allocating proceeds from carbon pricing continue as outlined by provinces or territories in their own systems, or as defined in the federal system. All revenue from the federal carbon pricing system is returned to the provinces and territories where they are collected. In all three scenarios, we assume that existing provincial and territorial carbon pricing systems remain in place. Prices in all jurisdictions increase from current levels by $15 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per year to reach $170 per tonne by 2030. We describe our assumptions about how we model the cost of carbon between 2030 and 2050 later in this section. * All dollar figures throughout the report are in Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise.27 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORCarbon pricing and mitigating economic competitiveness risks How we apply carbon pricing to large industrial emitters differs between scenarios. This difference ensures consistency with each scenario premise. A key difference between all three scenarios is the level of future climate action outside of Canada. This can influence the design of carbon pricing systems. When some countries are not moving as quickly as Canada to reduce GHG emissions, there is a risk that some industries in those countries have an economic advantage over competitors in Canada. There is also a risk some industrial facilities may move from Canada to another country to avoid paying a price on carbon pollution; this migration is often called carbon leakage. The federal and provincial carbon pricing systems have mechanisms to mitigate these risks. Under the federal system, this mechanism is referred to as the Output- Based Pricing System. This performance-based system is designed to create a financial incentive for industries to reduce emissions but also reduce the risk of carbon leakage and adverse competitiveness impacts due to domestic carbon pricing. Industry-specific benchmarks (output-based standards) are used to determine the amount of carbon price owed. Instead of paying the fuel charge on fuels that they use, facilities must provide compensation for emissions above an emissions limit, calculated by multiplying relevant output-based standards and the quantity of product produced. We assume that in the Global Net-zero Scenario, the Output-Based Pricing System, and provincial mechanisms to mitigate the risks of competitiveness impacts and carbon leakage, phase out completely by 2050. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, slower global action implies that competitiveness could still be a concern. As a result, we assume these mechanisms remain in place but the benchmarks for determining the emission limits decline steadily over the projection period. In the Current Measures Scenario, these emission limits remain at their current levels over the projection period. 28 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORDomestic climate policies in the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios The Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios include all in-place federal, provincial, and territorial climate policies. Both net-zero scenarios also include all announced but not-yet-implemented policies, to the extent possible. We applied the following criteria to determine whether an announced policy was included in our analysis: • The policy was announced prior to March 2023. • Sufficient details exist to model the policy. The federal government made several key climate policy announcements that it is working to implement, including: • Clean Electricity Regulations – regulations to reduce GHG emissions from the generation of electricity to help work towards a net-zero electricity supply by 2035. • Oil and Gas Emissions Cap – regulations to reduce GHG emissions from the oil and gas sector at a pace and scale necessary to achieve Canada’s 2030 and 2050 climate targets. • Light-duty Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Sales Mandate – a mandatory 100% zero-emission vehicle sales target by 2035, including interim targets of at least 20% by 2026 and at least 60% by 2030. • A 75% reduction in oil and gas sector methane emissions relative to 2012 levels by 2030 – regulations and other measures needed to achieve at least a 75% reduction in methane emissions from the oil and gas sector from 2012 levels by 2030. • Investment Tax Credit for Clean Hydrogen – a tax credit to support investments in clean hydrogen productionAssumptions regarding future policies in EF2023 are meant to be illustrative and represent a stylized future policy environment. Our assumptions are not policy recommendations for governments. In developing future policies, governments will consider economic, social, legal, jurisdictional (both within and outside of Canada), and other factors.These and other announced but not-yet-implemented policies are modeled in both net-zero scenarios. Final details of some of these policies were not available at the time of analysis. We include these policies by relying on assumptions about those policies as necessary. In some cases, we strengthen existing and announced policies beyond what is specified in a policy or regulation. For example, the Clean Fuel Regulations require the emission intensity of certain fuels for sale in Canada to decline by a specific rate until 2030. We continue emission intensity reductions as if the policy continued to increase in strength beyond 2030. Finally, to ensure the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios achieve net-zero by 2050, we rely on some hypothetical policies in the 2030 to 2050 period. The following section, Modeling Net-zero and Future Climate Policy Assumptions describes this approach. Table A.1 describes the key policy assumptions in EF2023. Further details on these and other policies is available in Appendix 1: Domestic Climate Policy Assumptions.29 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORTable A.1: Overview of domestic climate policy assumptions Policies currently in place These policies are the basis of the Current Measures Scenario and are also included in the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios.

Carbon pricing See the following section, “Modeling net-zero and Future Climate Policy Assumptions.”30 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORModeling net-zero and future climate policy assumptions A requirement of the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios is that Canada reaches net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. In the net-zero scenarios in EF2023, we begin with the end goal in mind: net-zero GHG emissions in 2050, and use our models to identify a pathway to that point. This is a different approach compared to past versions of this report. Previously, we ran our models without restrictions, giving us insights into what a given premise and set of assumptions meant for the future. 5 Another approach to modeling net-zero pathways is referred to as optimization. This approach uses models to compute an optimal pathway to a pre-determined outcome (such as net-zero emissions by 2050). Canadian Energy Outlook 2021 published by the Institut de l’énergie Trottier is an example of modeling Canada’s energy system using optimization techniques.To reach net-zero, we take an iterative approach This approach5 begins with running the Energy Futures Modeling System with an initial set of assumptions. Once complete, we look at the resulting GHG emissions in 2050. If our projections do not result in net-zero emissions by 2050, we alter our hypothetical future climate policy assumptions and re-run our models. With each additional model run, we alter the policy assumptions, resulting in higher or lower GHG emissions. We repeat this process until the outcome of the model is consistent with net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. Other assumptions, such as those on technologies, international markets, and behaviour, remain constant. Figure A.2 shows this process. Figure A.2: Simplified iterative approach to modeling net-zero in the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios 31 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOR The main driver of our models reaching a net-zero emissions outcome is what we refer to as the “aggregate cost of carbon.” The aggregate cost of carbon represents the hypothetical suite of policies, regulations, and programs, that we assume in the 2030 to 2050 period. In practical terms, to implement this in the Energy Futures Modeling System, we rely on a hypothetical economy-wide carbon price to represent the aggregate cost of carbon. This choice is solely for technical modeling purposes. It is likely that future climate policy in Canada, like it is today, will be a diverse mix of tools to reduce emissions. Our assumptions are not policy recommendations for governments . In addition, these assumptions are not an estimate of what future carbon prices are necessary to achieve net-zero, but instead a modeling technique we use to explore potential net-zero outcomes. The aggregate cost of carbon resulting from the iterative process shown in Figure A.2 increases steadily from $0 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) in 2030 to 2022$330 per tonne of CO2e in 2050 in inflation adjusted terms in the Global Net-zero Scenario, and to 2022$380 per tonne of CO2e in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. In both net-zero scenarios, this is in addition to the federal backstop carbon price of $170 per tonne of CO2e in 2030 to 2050 (or 2022$95 per tonne of CO2e in inflation-adjusted terms by 2050), as well as all in-place federal, provincial, and territorial climate policies and the announced but not-yet-implemented policies that we model in our analysis.32 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORTechnology To model Canada’s energy system, we make assumptions about a wide variety of technologies that use or produce energy. These range from well-established technologies (like refrigerators, furnaces, and wind turbines) to those under development or not yet widely used (like heat pumps, small modular reactors (SMRs), and DAC processes). We make assumptions about the current and future costs, performance, and efficiency of technologies. Energy technology development and the pace of climate action are related Climate policies drive technological innovation and create markets for low- carbon technologies. This innovation and market development can result in lower costs and better performance. The difference in global climate action in our three scenarios means we make different assumptions about technology in each scenario. The Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios assume continued technological progress, including commercialization of many emerging technologies that can support a net-zero future. Both scenarios rely on the IEA’s scenarios for many of the technology assumptions, where clean energy technologies generally get progressively less costly over time. The pace of this cost decline varies by scenario. In the IEA’s analysis, the more households and businesses use a technology, the more its cost tends to decline. This means that technology costs decline the most in the Global Net-zero Scenario because it draws its technology assumptions from the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, which is the most ambitious scenario in WEO2022. The cost declines in the Canada Net-zero Scenario are somewhat slower, as that scenario relies on the IEA’s Announced Pledges Scenario, which has somewhat slower global climate action. The Current Measures Scenario has the slowest pace of technological development. Figure A.3 provides an example of the cost declines for some of the technologies in the Global Net-zero Scenario.Figure A.3: Capital cost trends for select technologies, Global Net-zero Scenario 33 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORCritical minerals are key to low-carbon energy deployment All assumptions in EF2023 have a degree of uncertainty associated with them. How much different technologies eventually cost will likely differ from what we assume in this report. A key factor affecting many low-carbon technologies is the cost of inputs to manufacture those technologies, including critical minerals. In its WEO2022 report, the IEA notes that the increasing use and importance of critical minerals could become a bottleneck for clean energy deployment. For more information on the impact of critical minerals on the Canadian energy outlook, see the text box: “Critical Minerals and the Energy Transition” in EF2021, or the CER’s Market Snapshot “Critical Minerals are Key to the Global Energy Transition”. Table A.2 describes many of the technology assumptions in EF2023 in all three scenarios. Further details on these and other technologies is available in Appendix 2: Technology Assumptions.

The CER does not model international energy markets. Instead, we rely on other sources of information, including the analysis of others, to develop assumptions on factors like crude oil and natural gas prices. As we describe later in this section, we rely on IEA’s WEO2022 projections for key inputs in both of our net-zero scenarios. Global crude oil prices were volatile over the past few years After averaging around US$60 per barrel (bbl) from 2017 to 2019, the annual average price for Brent crude oil fell to US$42/bbl in 2020. This price decreased largely because the COVID-19 pandemic reduced business activity, commuting, shipping, and travel, reducing global demand for oil-based products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Beginning in 2021, prices began to steadily increase, as consumption of these products rebounded when many countries eased pandemic restrictions. Meanwhile, oil producers were slow to increase investment from 2020 levels, meaning there was less new oil production to supply growing demand. Price increases accelerated in early 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine and countries around the world sanctioned Russia’s energy exports, increasing demand for non-Russian oil. The price for Brent crude oil rose above US$100/bbl for several months in 2022 before declining to closer to US$80/bbl late in the year. North American natural gas prices followed similar trends to crude oil From 2017 to 2019, the Henry Hub natural gas price was stable around US$3.00 per million British thermal units (MMBtu). With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the price fell, averaging just over US$2.00/MMBtu in 2020. Like crude oil, natural gas prices increased through 2021 and 2022, at first because many countries eased pandemic restrictions and then because natural gas producers were slow to ramp up investment levels as demand increased. Then Russia invaded Ukraine, increasing demand for non-Russian natural gas around the world, especially liquefied natural gas (LNG) from markets like the United States. Henry Hub natural gas prices averaged US$8.81/MMBtu in August 2022, the highest monthly average since July 2008. By the end of 2022, natural gas prices decreased to less than US$6.00/MMBtu. In the first three months of 2023, gas prices continued to fall, trading closer to US$2.00/MMBtu in March. 35 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORInternational crude oil and natural gas prices We rely on the IEA’s WEO2022 for the global oil and natural gas price assumptions in the two net-zero scenarios in EF2023. The IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario is the source of price assumptions for our Global Net-zero Scenario. The IEA projects crude oil prices to decrease to 2021US$35/bbl in inflation-adjusted terms by 2030 and 2021US$24/bbl in 2050. In the IEA’s scenario, global crude oil consumption falls from 94.5 million barrels per day (MMb/d) (15.0 10³m³/d) in 2021, to 75.3 MMb/d (12.0 10³m³/d) in 2030 and 22.8 MMb/d (3.6 10³m³/d) in 2050. Much of this drop is because of the electrification of transportation; all global passenger vehicle sales are electric vehicles by 2035 in the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario. By 2050, three quarters of remaining global crude oil use is for products like petrochemical feedstock, lubricants, and asphalt, where the oil is not combusted. In the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, the IEA projects that North American natural gas prices fall from 2021US$6.60/MMBtu in 2021 to 2021US$2.00/MMBtu in 2030 and 2021US$1.80/MMBtu in 2050, in inflation- adjusted terms. Global demand for natural gas in this scenario falls by 20% from 2021 to 2030, and by over 70% by 2050. The steepest reductions in the global use of natural gas occurs in electricity generation and heating of buildings. Producing low-carbon hydrogen from natural gas makes up half of the remaining consumption in 2050. The IEA’s WEO2022 Announced Pledges Scenario is the source of global price assumptions for our Canada Net-zero Scenario. In the Announced Pledges Scenario, the drop in fossil fuel consumption is not as dramatic as in the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario. Global crude oil consumption declines 40% from 2021 to 2050, and natural gas falls 37% over the same period. As a result, the price of crude oil decreases to 2021US$64/bbl in 2030 and 2021US$60/bbl in 2050 in inflation-adjusted terms in the IEA’s Announced Pledges Scenario. The price of natural gas decreases to 2021US$3.70/MMBtu in 2030 and 2021US$2.60/MMBtu in 2050.EF2023 uses IEA price projections to model crude oil and natural gas production While we rely on the IEA’s crude oil and natural price projections, we do not use the IEA’s projected production of Canadian crude oil and natural gas. Instead, we use the IEA’s prices (adjusted to reflect local Canadian prices) in our models to project crude oil and natural gas production (which we describe in the following chapter, “Results”). We base our global price assumptions in the Current Measures Scenario on a review of price projections by various other organizations. In this scenario, we assume the Brent crude oil price is 2021US$75/bbl by 2030 and stays at that level through the projection period. We assume the Henry Hub natural gas price reaches 2021US$3.75/MMBtu in 2030, after which the price increases slowly, reaching 2021US$4.40/MMBtu in 2050. Figures A.4 and A.5 show the prices we assume for crude oil and natural gas for all three scenarios in EF2023. For the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios, we adjust the IEA’s WEO2022 prices to align with key global price benchmarks used in the Canada’s Energy Future series: Brent, the primary global benchmark price for crude oil, and Henry Hub, a key North American benchmark price for natural gas. We also interpolate annual prices from IEA’s projections, which are only available for the years 2030 and 2050. 36 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORDomestic crude oil and natural gas prices While international prices are a key driver of Canadian crude oil prices (like Western Canada Select (WCS) for heavy crude oil), local factors are also important in determining the prices Canadian crude oil producers receive. The difference, or “differential,” in prices between local markets and international prices depends on many things, such as whether pipelines have enough capacity to ship all exports, issues in downstream markets, and quality differences between different types of crude oil (like the chemical and compositional differences between light, sweet crude oil, and heavy, sour crude oil). In all three scenarios, the difference between West Texas Intermediate (WTI), a key North American crude benchmark, is US$2.50/bbl lower, in inflation-adjusted terms, than Brent over the entire projection period. We also assume that the difference between WTI and WCS remains at its historical level over the projection period at US$12.50/bbl in the Current Measures and Canada Net-zero scenarios. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, this differential begins to narrow slightly starting in 2035, reaching US$10/bbl in 2050. We alter the differential in this scenario to account for continued demand of heavier refined products, like asphalt. Figure A.4: Brent crude oil price assumptions, all scenariosFigure A.6: Canadian LNG export volume assumptions, all scenariosFigure A.5: Henry Hub natural gas price assumptions, all scenarios 37 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORLiquefied natural gas We make assumptions about the amount of natural gas that Canada exports as LNG in all three scenarios (Figure A.6). Unlike many other industries, we do not use a model to project future LNG production. This is because the sector consists of a few large potential projects, each with their own unique circumstances. Instead, we rely on Asian natural gas prices in the WEO2022 to assess the economic viability of Canadian LNG exports, from which we develop our assumptions. We assume LNG production is the lowest in the Global Net-zero Scenario In the Global Net-zero Scenario, we assume exports of LNG from the first phase of the LNG Canada project begin in 2025 and ramp up to 1.7 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) 49.0 106m3/d) in 2026. This is the volume of natural gas that would be exported, accounting for natural gas used for fuel at the LNG facility. We also assume the Woodfibre LNG project begins production in 2028 and increases to full capacity of just below 0.3 Bcf/d (8.5 106m3/d) in 2029. Total exports in the Global Net-zero Scenario reach 2 Bcf/d (56.6 106m3/d) in 2029 and remain at that level until 2044. In 2045, LNG production begins to fall in response to much lower global LNG demand, reaching 0.3 Bcf/d (8.5 106m3/d) by 2046 and staying at that level to 2050. LNG exports increase to 2030 and then level off in the Canada Net-zero Scenario In addition to the LNG exports in the Global Net-zero Scenario, we assume the Canada Net-zero Scenario also includes the second phase of the LNG Canada project beginning in 2029. Total LNG exports reach 3.8 Bcf/d (108.2 106m3/d) in in 2030 and continue at that level throughout the projection period. We assume higher LNG exports in the Canada Net-zero Scenario because of higher natural gas prices and global LNG trade in the IEA’s Announced Pledges Scenario. LNG exports are the highest in the Current Measures Scenario LNG Exports reach 4.6 Bcf/d (131.4 106m3/d) in 2034 and staying at that level to 2050 in the Current Measures Scenario. In all three scenarios, we assume all LNG exports originate from Canada’s west coast. Future LNG development is uncertain and could be significantly different than implied by these assumptions.Implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine In early 2022, Russia, a major exporter of oil and natural gas to world energy markets, invaded Ukraine. Nations around the world condemned the invasion and responded by sanctioning Russian energy exports. For example, much of Europe, which relied heavily on Russian natural gas, restricted imports. In addition, transportation of Russian natural gas to Europe was severely curtailed when the Nord Stream pipeline – two offshore pipelines that connect Russia to Germany – reduced flows in July 2022, and then was shut down entirely in September 2022 because of sabotage. These events resulted in an immediate surge in global demand for non-Russian oil and natural gas that could last for several years. European countries have also responded by accelerating plans to shift to less reliance on oil and natural gas. This acceleration includes new policies to speed up the adoption of electric vehicles, enable bigger and quicker buildouts of renewable energy, delay the retirement of some nuclear power plants, and increase energy efficiency. These are in addition to accelerating climate policy action around the world. In the WEO2022, the IEA projects that policies in place around the world today could cause fossil fuel demand to peak in the mid-2020s and then decline. These developments result in additional uncertainty in modeling Canada’s energy system. Canada is major exporter of oil and natural gas, and the global market is undergoing significant changes. For a detailed discussion of how these events could impact the global energy outlook, please see “The global energy crisis” in the IEA’s WEO2022.38 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORNon-energy and land use, land-use change and forestry emissions (LULUCF) The analysis in EF2023 focuses on energy production, processing, transportation, and consumption in Canada, which currently represents approximately 80% of Canada’s GHG emissions (mostly from fossil fuel combustion). To depict a net-zero outcome for Canada, however, our analysis requires projections for all GHG emission sources and sinks. There are several human-caused GHG emission sources and sinks not directly linked to the energy system. While we do model non-energy emissions from industrial processes and product use, we do not model other non-energy GHG emissions in Canada. As a result, we make assumptions about them in our scenarios. Table A.3 describes the non-energy emissions we do not model, and the assumptions we make in our scenarios. Table A.3: Non-energy emission assumptions, all scenarios Emissions source Description6Assumption Agriculture Emissions related to the production of crops and livestock (excludes on-farm fuel use). Agriculture emissions were 54 MT in 2021.Our projections of agricultural sector output were the primary driver of the agriculture emission assumptions. Some potential emissions reductions from adoption of innovative agriculture practices are included in the net-zero scenarios. Current Measures Scenario: 55 MT in 2030 and 59 MT by 2050 Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios: 51 MT in 2030 and 41 MT by 2050 Waste Emissions from the treatment and disposal of solid and liquid wastes, and waste incineration. Waste emissions were 21 MT in 2021. Our projections of the number of households were the primary driver of the waste emission assumptions. We account for the proposed regulations on landfill methane in the assumptions of the net-zero scenarios. Current Measures Scenario: 22 MT in 2030 and 23 MT by 2050 Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios: 13 MT in 2030 and 11 MT by 2050 Land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF)Net emissions associated with Canada’s managed lands, such as forests and cropland. Land use, land-use change and forestry emissions were negative 17 MT in 2021. Our assumptions for land use, land-use change and forestry emissions are based on a review of various studies and projections of others, such as recent studies by Environment and Climate Change Canada, Canadian Climate Institute, and Institut de l’énergie Trottier. Current Measures Scenario: -13 MT in 2030 and beyond Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios: -30 MT in 2030 and -50 MT by 2050 6 A full description of the types of non-energy emissions is available in Canada’s National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report.39 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOR Results This chapter presents results of the EF2023 projections. These projections are not a prediction, but instead illustrate possible futures based on the scenarios and assumptions described in the previous chapter. Many factors and uncertainties will influence future trends. Key uncertainties are discussed in each section of this chapter. The data supporting this discussion, including full data tables for all three scenarios, is available in the “Access and Explore Energy Futures Data” chapter. * All dollar figures throughout the report are in Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise.40 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOR Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions In December 2015, most countries in the world, including Canada, adopted the Paris Agreement. The overarching goal of the agreement is to hold “the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels” and pursue efforts “to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.” These efforts are because the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change indicates that crossing the 1.5°C threshold risks far more severe climate change impacts, including more frequent and severe droughts, heatwaves and rainfall. Fundamental to achieving the goal of the agreement is dramatically reducing global GHG emissions. Canada’s long-term climate goal is reaching net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.7 Given that reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 is the central focus of both our net-zero scenarios in EF2023, GHG emission trends are vital to our analysis. Around 80% of Canada’s total emissions are related to the production and consumption of energy, so the GHG emission and energy supply and demand projections in EF2023 are tightly linked. 7 The Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act 8 2021 emissions data, along with some historical revisions to 1990-2020 data, was released by Environment and Climate Change Canada in April 2023 in the 2023 National Inventory Report. The modeling in EF2023 is based on emissions data from the 2022 National Inventory Report, which includes GHG emission data up to 2020. Total emissions shown in EF2023 include Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), which are often negative. 9 Canada reports GHG emissions different formats, including by economic sector. These different categorizations simply allocate GHG emissions into different groupings; there is no difference in the overall magnitude of Canadian emissions estimates. The economic sectors allocate emissions to the sector from which they originate.Canada’s GHG emission profile From 2000 to 2019, Canada’s GHG emissions have fluctuated between just below 700 megatonnes (MT) to around 750 MT. In 2020, emissions fell 8% from 2019 levels. Much of this decrease was a result of lower energy use in response to actions to reduce the spread of COVID-19, such as travel restrictions and closing businesses. The decrease in emissions from 2019 to 2020 is the largest drop in emissions recorded over the period for which data is available (1990 to 2021). In 2021, emissions were 653 MT, or a 1.2% increase from 2020 levels, but 7.3% lower than in 2019. Figure R.1 shows Canada’s GHG emissions in 2021,8 categorized by economic sector.9 Of the sectors in Figure R.1, GHG emissions fell in electricity (-56%), heavy industry (-13%), transportation (-4%), and waste and others (-10%) from 2005 to 2021. GHG emissions increased in oil and gas (+13%), buildings (+2%), and agriculture (+8%) over that same period. Consistent with the past 30 years, about 80% of GHG emissions in 2021 were related to the production and consumption of energy, mostly from the combustion of fossil fuels. The remaining 20% of emissions are from other activities such as agriculture, waste management, and certain industrial processes. Canada’s GHG emission profile varies significantly among the provinces and territories, as shown in Figure R.2. Detailed data and a more thorough description of Canada’s GHG emission profile can be found in Canada’s National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report, published by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).41 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORFigure R.1: GHG emissions by economic sector, 2021 Figure R.2: GHG emissions by province and territory, 2021 42 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORGHG emission projections This section provides an overview of our projections of GHG emissions in all three scenarios. The sections that follow explore the energy and GHG emissions trends for the individual segments of the energy system. Net economy-wide GHG emissions fall to zero by 2050 in the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios, which is a pre-determined outcome due to the nature of the analysis. Total emission trends are similar in the two scenarios given they share similar climate policy assumptions. In the Current Measures Scenario, we project emissions to be 566 MT by 2050, 13% lower than 2021 levels. This projection of GHG emissions in the Current Measures Scenario only includes policies currently in place during the analysis and does not reflect recently announced policies that are in development. Figure R.3 shows total net emissions in all three scenarios and figure R.4 shows emissions by economic sector in the Global Net-zero Scenario. Figure R.3: Total GHG emissions, all scenarios 43 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORWhich GHG emissions are included in EF2023 Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) estimate and report their historical GHG emissions according to guidelines developed by the UNFCCC. This report is referred to as a country’s National Inventory Report (NIR). The UNFCC’s guidelines for calculating GHG emissions aim to make reporting by countries transparent, consistent, comparable, complete, and accurate. ECCC is responsible for preparing and submitting Canada’s national GHG inventory to the UNFCCC. Each country’s NIR covers emissions (and removals) of GHGs, including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and various other gases that have heat- trapping potential. GHG emissions are calculated as those that occur within a country. For example, if country A produces and exports natural gas to country B, any GHG emissions resulting from producing that natural gas (such as the GHG emissions from facilities that process raw natural gas) are attributed to country A, while emissions related to the combustion of that natural gas are attributed to country B. The historical GHG emissions that we report in EF2023 align with Canada’s NIR. The latest historical emissions data available is from 2021. The GHG emission projections in EF2023 are estimates resulting from the Energy Futures Modeling System, relying on inputs based on the scenario premise and assumptions we describe in the previous chapter. In various publications, such as the Emission Reduction Plan and Biennial Report to the UNFCCC, ECCC produces the official analysis of Canada’s current emissions outlook and performance against its climate commitments.

We then describe the primary energy demand12 projections. End-use demand includes consumption of energy, including electricity and hydrogen, but not the energy used to produce electricity and hydrogen. We make projections about energy demand by simulating the energy choices of households and businesses, including the energy technologies and fuels they use. Economic activity, population growth, technology characteristics, energy prices, and climate policies all influence the model’s outcomes. Our energy demand projections also rely on projections about the need for energy services. Energy services are not the energy or technologies we use, but rather the things that energy enables us to do, like heat our homes, travel from place to place, or run equipment at a business. This includes projections of the output from various industries, the number of homes and businesses requiring heating and cooling, and the number of kilometres that passengers and goods move. The eventual level of energy services required may be different than in our scenarios, which would impact our projections of energy use. In all three scenarios, energy use increases in the near term We estimate Canadian end-use energy demand increased 4% in 2022, largely a result of increasing industrial and oil and gas activity, as well as a return to near pre-pandemic transportation levels. We project that demand growth continues in 2023 and 2024, but at a slower pace. 10 Energy used by final consumers for residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial and transportation purposes. It excludes the energy used to generate electricity, which is included under primary demand. 11 That energy is accounted for in primary energy demand. Historical energy demand data is sourced primarily from Statistics Canada’s Report on Energy Supply and Demand in Canada. This data is supplemented with additional details from ECCC, Natural Resources Canada, and various provincial data sources. 12 Primary demand is the total energy used in Canada, including energy to produce electricity and hydrogen.In the long term, energy use falls in both net-zero scenarios While we project continuing economic and population growth, end-use demand declines by 22% from 2021 to 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario and 12% in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. As we describe in the following sections, this decline is largely due to switching to different technologies and fuels, more efficient use of energy, and lower activity levels in some sectors. In particular, switching from fossil fuels to electricity can reduce overall energy demand significantly because electric devices often use energy more efficiently. For example, 30% or less of the energy in gasoline is used to propel vehicles with much of the remainder being lost to heat. In an electric vehicle (EV), much more of the energy stored in the vehicle’s battery is converted to movement. The combined impact of these changes reduces Canada’s energy intensity. The energy intensity of the economy, often measured as energy use per $ of real gross domestic product, declines by 2.2% per year in the Global Net-zero Scenario, and 1.7% per year in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. Energy intensity has typically fallen about 1% per year on average in recent decades. In the Current Measures Scenario, energy use is relatively stable In the Current Measures Scenario, energy use is relatively stable until 2040. After 2040, energy use begins slowly increasing again. This increase is because climate policies do not strengthen beyond 2030, but the economy and population continue to grow, increasing energy use. Figure R.5 shows the changes in end- use energy demand in each scenario. 47 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIn all scenarios, households and businesses continue to receive the energy services much like they do today, like being able to reliably heat their homes or travel from place to place. As described in the following sections, we project considerable changes to the types of fuels and technologies that power the energy system in the future, but little change to the energy services Canadians receive.Figure R.5: Change in end-use energy demand by sector, 2021 to 2050, all scenarios KEY TRENDS Energy demand • Rapid adoption of devices that use electricity, like EVs and heat pumps in the net-zero scenarios. • In both net-zero scenarios, clean fuels such as hydrogen and bioenergy, along with CCUS, play an increasing role in areas that are harder to electrify. • Energy efficiency improves steadily over the projection period.48 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORResidential and commercial The residential sector made up 13% of Canada’s end-use energy demand, and 6% of its GHG emissions in 2021. The commercial sector, which includes buildings like offices, restaurants, and schools, made up 11% of Canada’s end-use energy demand, and 7% of its GHG emissions in 2021. Most energy use in both sectors is electricity and natural gas, and in some regions refined petroleum products (RPPs) and biomass are also key fuels. When combined, GHG emissions in both sectors are referred to as the “buildings sector” for the purposes of GHG emission reporting. GHGs in the buildings sector are primarily the result of burning natural gas and fuel oil for heating buildings and water. In the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios, we project that energy use patterns change considerably in both sectors. The electrification of space and water heating, along with rapid improvements in the efficiency of buildings, are core to this sector’s transformation. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, we project that building shell efficiency (or how well buildings resist losing heated or cooled air to the outside environment) of the entire residential building stock improves by 50% from 2021 to 2050. In the commercial sector, this improvement is slightly slower at 43%. Efficiency gains are driven by energy retrofits of existing buildings and increasingly strict building codes for new buildings, with all new homes built to a “net-zero-ready” standard by 2030. Efficiency improvements are similar in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. These efficiency improvements are important because residential and commercial floorspace both grow around 50% over the projection period as new houses and buildings are built. In the Current Measures Scenario, less ambitious policy measures result in slower improvements in efficiency. 49 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORFuel-switching is necessary to achieve net-zero In both net-zero scenarios, efficiency improvements support achieving net- zero, but switching existing fossil fuel heating devices to non-emitting options is necessary to achieve net-zero emissions. In many regions, heating needs are currently met with natural gas or heating oil furnaces. Due to our assumptions about climate policies and technology cost reductions, electric heat pumps steadily become the device of choice when households and businesses replace their furnaces. Heat pumps also grow in regions that currently rely heavily on electric baseboard heating. Because heat pumps are very energy efficient, switching from baseboard heating to heat pumps helps limit electric demand growth in the building sector. Currently, heat pumps are gaining popularity in some regions in Canada but are used sparingly in many regions. More information about the characteristics of heat pumps is in the text box “Spotlight on Heat Pumps.” Importantly, our projections are based on parameters about the willingness of households and businesses to adopt new technologies like heat pumps. However, societal preferences change over time, which could change the adoption rates of heat pumps, or any of the other technologies we discuss in this chapter. Heat pump use increases in both net-zero scenarios, but some gas and oil furnaces remain In both net-zero scenarios, heat pumps provide about 50% of residential space heating needs by 2050, up from 6% in 2021, as shown in Figure R.6. This is similar in the commercial sector as heat pumps provide around half of space heating needs by 2050. While heat pumps dominate new heating technology installations by the mid-2030s, the rate of change in the residential and commercial sectors tends to be slow as most households and businesses usually replace devices near the end of their useful lives. As a result, we project that some natural gas and heating oil furnaces remain in 2050 in both net-zero scenarios. Efficiency improvements and blending fossil fuels with low-carbon fuels such as hydrogen and renewable natural gas helps reduce the emissions from these buildings. By 2050, approximately 13% of the energy used in gas-fired residential and commercial space and water heating is renewable natural gas, and 7% hydrogen. 50 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORSpotlight on heat pumps Electric heat pumps are a key technology for building decarbonization in our net-zero scenarios. Heat pumps have been used globally for decades and most Canadians already have technologies that operate under the same principles in their homes: refrigerators and air conditioners. Heat pumps work by moving heat from one space (a source) to another (a sink). The two most common sources for heat pumps are the outside air and the ground. Electricity is used to transfer heat from the air or ground to a sink, either the indoor air or water of a building. This process can be reversed so that the building acts as a source and the air or ground acts as a sink, cooling the building instead of heating it. Therefore, heat pumps can be used year-round in Canada to regulate indoor temperatures. Since heat pumps move heat instead of generating it, they can achieve efficiencies far beyond those of conventional heating methods like a natural gas furnace. Heat pumps currently on the market can achieve efficiencies of 300-550% depending on the temperature of the source and the size of the heat pump. Air-source heat pumps are lower cost and cheaper to install than ground-source heat pumps and subsequently makeup most of the installed heat pumps across Canada, both now and in our scenarios. However, as the outside air temperature decreases, air source heat pumps become less efficient. Currently, cold climate air-source heat pumps can still achieve efficiencies of 180% at -15°C and still function well up to -25°C. Below this temperature, however, they have difficulty supplying enough heat to a home. As temperatures decrease, homes lose heat more quickly and more energy is required to extract heat from the air. Canadians that live in climates that drop below -25°C and wish to install heat pumps have two options to heat their homes even on the coldest of days. First, when installing a heat pump, they can leave their current heating system as a backup or install a new backup at the same time. This backup can be any conventional technology used to heat a home, such as a natural gas furnace or electric resistance heating. Secondly, Canadians can choose to invest in a ground-source heat pump instead. Even in the coldest climates in Canada, the ground retains significantly more heat than the air and therefore can efficiently provide heat all winter. Further information on heat pumps including functionality, technical specifications, and installation is available from Natural Resources Canada’s Heating and Cooling With a Heat Pump. 51 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORFigure R.6: Residential space heating by technology, Global Net-zero Scenario Total energy use in the residential sector declines by 22% from 2021 to 2050 in the Global Net-zero and Canada Net-zero scenarios. While overall demand decreases, electricity use grows at 1.2% per year over the projection period, largely because of steady growth of electric heating with heat pumps. As more homes switch to heat pumps and electric hot water heating, demand for natural gas falls steadily. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, residential natural gas demand is 72% lower in 2050 compared to 2021, and 73% lower in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. Energy use from at-home charging of EVs is accounted for in the transportation sector, which we describe later in this chapter. In the Current Measures Scenario, the residential and commercial sectors show steady improvements in efficiency plus some switching to electricity-based heating. However, the pace of change is much slower than in the net-zero scenarios. Natural gas demand in these sectors declines by 18% from 2021 to 2050, while electricity use also increases at a pace similar to the past two decades. Figure R.7 shows total electricity and natural gas demand in the Global Net-zero and Current Measures scenarios. Residential and commercial GHG emissions GHG emissions from residential and commercial buildings follow the energy demand trends we describe above. GHG emissions from the buildings sector track closely to the volume of natural gas and heating oil used. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, GHG emissions in the buildings sector fall from 87 MT in 2021 to 25 MT in 2050, a 71% decrease, with very similar reductions in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. In both net-zero scenarios, emissions from the buildings sector remain positive in 2050, but Canada overall achieves net-zero due to negative emissions occurring in other sectors. In the Current Measures Scenario, emissions decline more slowly in the buildings sector, reaching 64 MT in 2050, a 27% decline. Figure R.7: Combined residential and commercial buildings energy use by fuel, Global Net-zero and Current Measures scenarios 52 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIndustrial The industrial sector accounted for 54% of Canada’s end-use energy demand in 2021, making it the largest in terms of energy use. The industrial sector is diverse, with several sub-sectors, including oil and natural gas, and various heavy industries like cement, pulp and paper, and iron and steel. The sector is also diverse in terms of energy use, with natural gas making up the largest share of fuel use at 49% in 2021, followed by RPPs (28%), electricity (14%), and biofuels (8%). The main use of energy in the industrial sector is to produce heat, which is used in different industrial processes. Energy commodities such as RPPs and natural gas liquids are also used as non-energy feedstock in sectors such as chemicals and fertilizer production. Industrial GHG emissions are mainly from oil and gas and heavy industry In 2021, the oil and natural gas sector emitted 189 MT, 29% of Canada’s total emissions. Heavy industry made up 12% of total emissions in 2021, or 77 MT. This section focuses mostly on the energy use and GHG emission trends in heavy industry. We describe the trends for the oil and natural gas sector in the “Oil and natural gas production” section. In both net-zero scenarios, new technology, CCUS, and fuel switching are key changes in heavy industry In the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios, the changes that occur in the sector to reduce GHG emissions is varied due to unique processes specific to each industrial subsector. However, the primary factors driving change are technological innovation, the application of CCUS technology, and fuel switching. In heavy industry, there are two major emissions sources: emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels to create high temperature heat and process emissions that occur from chemical or physical reactions in the production process itself. 53 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORLower costs and stronger climate policies drive new technology deployment New industrial technologies are adopted in the net-zero scenarios as they become more widely available at lower costs, and as producers look for options to respond to strengthening climate policies. For example, in the aluminum production sector, the use of inert anodes becomes an increasingly economic choice. Compared to carbon anodes, the benefit of inert anodes is that carbon dioxide (CO2) is no longer released as a byproduct of the aluminum smelting process. Another example of technology innovation occurs in the iron and steel industry. Most new steel produced in Canada occurs by reacting iron ore with coal, which creates both combustion and process emissions. In both net-zero scenarios, iron and steel producers use a mix of technologies that rely on electricity, natural gas with CCUS, and hydrogen to decarbonize the industry. Steel can also be recycled using 100% electricity and producers increasingly use this pathway where scrap steel is available. CCUS becomes an important decarbonization option in the industrial sector CCUS becomes an important decarbonization option where a production process requires high-temperature heat and/or has significant process related emissions. CCUS is a suite of technologies that capture CO2 from facilities to either store it in geological formations underground or use in other processes, like permanent mineralization in concrete. Instead of being permanently stored, there are also other potential uses for captured carbon, such as producing synthetic fuels. In heavy industry, several sectors increasingly use CCUS over the projection period in both net-zero scenarios, as shown in Figure R.8. We project the heavy industry sector captures a total of 6 MT of GHG emissions in 2030, increasing to 24 MT by 2040 in the Global Net-zero Scenario, after which CCUS in the sector is relatively stable. This excludes the carbon captured in the electricity and oil and gas sectors, which we describe later in this chapter. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, CCUS plays a similar role in heavy industry.Figure R.8: GHG emissions captured using CCUS in heavy industry, Global Net-zero Scenario 54 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORFuel-switching is an important trend in both net-zero scenarios Various climate policies change the relative cost of fuels and industries respond by switching to low- or non-emitting energy sources when feasible. As shown in Figure R.9, the share of low- or no-carbon energy sources grows steadily over the projection period. The use of low-carbon hydrogen as a share of total heavy industrial energy demand increases from less than 1% in 2021 to 6% in 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario, and similar in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. Other energy sources, such as electricity, biomass, biofuels, and renewable natural gas, increase their share in both net-zero scenarios. These low- or no-carbon energy sources offset energy from fossil fuels, whose combined share of the heavy industrial sector’s energy use falls from around 60% of energy use in 2021 to 32% in 2050. Figure R.9: Share of energy type in the industrial sector, excluding the oil and natural gas sector, Global Net-zero Scenario 55 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOREnergy use changes are much slower in the Current Measures Scenario In the Current Measures Scenario, energy use in the industrial sector undergoes some change, such as efficiency improvements and some limited applications of CCUS. However, the pace of change is much slower than in both net-zero scenarios. This is because of our assumptions about climate policies and technology costs in this scenario give less incentive for industries to change their energy use patterns. Total industrial energy use increases less than 10% in both net-zero scenarios We project total energy use in the heavy industry sector to be relatively flat in both net-zero scenarios, increasing less than 10% from 2021 to 2050, compared to nearly 20% in the Current Measures Scenario. New technologies and energy efficiency improvements reduce energy use in the sector. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, total energy use in the entire industrial sector, including energy use in oil and gas, light industry, and for direct air capture processes, declines by 27% to 2050. Declining energy use for oil and natural gas production drives this trend and is partly offset by the emergence of direct air capture (DAC) facilities later in the projection period, which use large amounts of electricity and natural gas. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, oil and natural gas production are higher and total industrial energy use is higher than the Global Net-zero Scenario, but still declines by 10% by 2050. In the Current Measures Scenario, total industrial energy use grows steadily, although somewhat slower than over the past two decades. Figure R.10 shows total industrial demand by fuel in the Global Net-zero Scenario. By 2050, the share of electricity, clean fuels such as bioenergy and hydrogen, and fossil fuels with CCUS more than triples from current levels. Figure R.10: Total industrial energy use by fuel, Global Net-zero Scenario Industrial GHG emissions The key trends we describe in the previous section, technological innovation, CCUS, and fuel switching, result in steadily decreasing GHG emissions from the heavy industry sector in both net-zero scenarios. In both net-zero scenarios, emissions decline by nearly 75% from 2021 levels. This implies that heavy industry GHG emissions are positive in 2050, although Canada still achieves net- zero due to negative emissions occurring in other sectors. Emissions fall by 15% in the Current Measures Scenario. DAC facilities, which we consider to be a part of the broader industrial sector, result in net-negative emissions by 2050 in both net-zero scenarios. Emissions from the oil and gas sector drop significantly in both net-zero scenarios. We describe our energy use and GHG emission results for both of these sectors later in this chapter. 56 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORTransportation The transportation sector accounted for 21% of Canada’s end-use energy demand in 2021. This demand includes energy used to transport people and goods using a variety of modes, including on-road vehicles, rail, airplanes, and boats. Almost all energy use in this sector is RPPs derived from crude oil. Gasoline, the primary fuel for on-road passenger vehicles, made up 53% of total transportation demand in 2021. In the freight sector, diesel is the most common fuel, making up 32% of total transportation demand in 2021. Aviation fuel, biofuels, and heavy fuel oil made up much of the remaining energy use in 2021. Electricity is a small but growing portion of energy demand in the transportation sector. The transportation sector’s GHG emissions in 2021 were 150 MT, or nearly a quarter of Canada’s total emissions. Emissions from the sector have declined by 4% since 2005. Transporting passengers accounted for 57% of GHG emissions in the transportation sector, with freight making up 33% and the remaining emissions coming from off-road vehicles. Passenger transportation In both our net-zero scenarios, the primary change in the passenger transportation sector is the movement towards electric passenger vehicles and away from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Emissions from ICE vehicles remaining on the road also decline.The use of EVs increases substantially in all scenarios EV sales, including plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEVs), made up over 8% of all vehicles sales in Canada in 2022, up from 2% in 2018. We project this trend to accelerate in the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios, with nearly all passenger vehicle sales being EVs by 2035. However, the total stock of vehicles on the road changes more slowly, as vehicles can stay on the road for 15 or more years. Though sales of new ICE vehicles are nearly zero by 2035, there are some older vehicles on the road by 2050 in both net-zero scenarios. In the Current Measures Scenario, EV sales grow at a slower rate than in the net-zero scenarios but still become a competitive choice for consumers, making up 50% of all vehicle sales by 2035, and 75% in 2050. Figure R.11 shows the share of EV sales and passenger vehicles on the road that are EVs in the Global Net-zero Scenario. The electrification of the passenger vehicle fleet is driven by the policies we assume in the net-zero scenarios. The federal mandatory zero-emission vehicle sales targets and similar policies in British Columbia (BC) and Quebec, federal and provincial EV incentives, and increasing carbon pricing all increase the availability and cost-effectiveness of EVs compared to ICE vehicles. In addition, we assume the costs of batteries, which are major component of the cost of EVs, decline over the projection period. Emissions from the remaining ICE vehicles decrease significantly While EVs gain an increasing market share over the projection period, emissions from ICE vehicles also decline in all three scenarios. Policies, including Canada’s light-duty vehicle GHG emissions standards and Clean Fuel Regulations, result in lower overall emissions per kilometre travelled by ICE vehicles. This includes greater blending of biofuels into the liquid fuel supply and better fuel efficiency of new ICE vehicles. Combined with wide-scale adoption of EVs, the emissions per kilometre travelled by passenger vehicles fall by around 95% in both the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios from 2021 to 2050. In addition to the switch to EVs, public transportation continues to play a key role in moving people. Transit is increasingly powered by electricity and bioenergy in the net-zero scenarios.57 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORAir travel emissions reduce due to aircraft efficiency improvements and use of clean fuels In all three scenarios, demand for aviation fuel recovers to pre-pandemic levels by 2023. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, we project energy use for passenger aviation remains relatively stable after 2023 as newer, more efficient aircraft help to improve fuel efficiency of air travel, and the trends are similar in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. In the net-zero scenarios the main source of GHG emissions reductions in the sector are through increased use of biofuels and hydrogen- based fuels. Passenger transportation energy use declines across all scenarios Led by large-scale adoption of EVs, we project total energy use in the passenger transportation sector to decline by 43% from 2021 to 2050 in the Global Net- zero Scenario and similar levels in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. This drop in energy use is largely due to EVs being far more energy-efficient compared to ICE vehicles13. By 2050, electricity makes up nearly 50% of the energy use in the passenger transportation sector in both net-zero scenarios, up from below 1% in 2021. Low-carbon aviation fuel, conventional jet fuel, gasoline, and ethanol make up much of the remaining fuel mix in 2050. In the Current Measures Scenario, passenger transportation energy use declines slowly after rebounding to pre- pandemic levels in 2023. Increasing number of EVs and improving efficiency of ICE vehicles are reasons for this decline. 13 CER Market Snapshot: Battery electric vehicles are far more fuel efficient than vehicles with internal combustion enginesFigure R.11: EVs as a share of total vehicle sales and vehicles on the road, Global Net-zero Scenario 58 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORFreight transportation In both net-zero scenarios, we project a few key shifts in the energy use and technologies used to transport goods. Electric trucks and vans increase significantly in some segments of the freight sector but in the heavy freight sector we project that other options are viable, including increasing use of hydrogen fuel cell technology. Biofuels also become an economically attractive fuel in the net-zero scenarios, providing a low-carbon fuel that can be used in existing diesel engines, or blended with fossil fuel-derived diesel to reduce the emission intensity of that fuel. Light-duty freight vehicles are typically used to move smaller loads over relatively short distances. In both net-zero scenarios, electric trucks and vans gradually become the most economic choice of vehicle to serve this purpose. Nearly all light-duty freight vehicle sales are electric by 2040 in both net-zero scenarios.Hydrogen-based vehicle use grows significantly in the heavy freight sector in the net-zero scenarios. For heavier freight, electric-powered vehicles take a share of the market in our net-zero scenarios, as do other technologies. A robust hydrogen supply develops in both net-zero scenarios, in part due the demand for hydrogen to use in trucks, rail locomotives, and marine vessels equipped with fuel cell technology. Fuel cells convert hydrogen to electricity, which then drives electric motors. Compared to batteries, compressed hydrogen paired with fuel cells is more energy-dense, which is beneficial when moving heavy goods over long distances. The use of hydrogen in the freight sector grows from nearly 0.5 MT in 2030 to almost 5 MT in 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario, with slightly more in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. Electricity demand for freight transportation reaches over 90 terawatt-hours (TWh) by 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario. Given the relatively high efficiency of EVs, this represents a large portion of freight activity. Unlike the passenger sector, where electrification of personal vehicles has significant momentum, the relative mix of technologies in the freight sector is more uncertain. Depending how technologies and markets evolve, we may see more or less hydrogen, electricity, or other clean fuels in the future. We explore this uncertainty further in the “What if” case for hydrogen supply and demand, located in the hydrogen results section. 59 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORRenewable diesel use grows to 35% of the diesel fuel supply by 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario We also project steady growth of biofuel use in the freight sector. The most common biofuels used today are ethanol and biodiesel. These biofuels are often blended into petroleum-based fuels for use in ICE vehicles. However, the rate at which these fuels can be blended into the petroleum-based fuel stream is limited, usually anywhere from 5 to 20% depending on the characteristics of the engine. In the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios, renewable diesel, often referred to as hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel, emerges as the leading biofuel over the projection period. Renewable diesel is chemically equivalent to diesel derived from fossil fuels. This means it is a “drop-in” biofuel and can be used as a direct replacement for petroleum-based diesel or blended at a much higher ratio than biodiesel. Renewable diesel can be derived from many different processes, allowing a diverse set of biomass feedstocks to be used. By 2030, in the Global Net-zero Scenario, we project renewable diesel’s share of the diesel fuel supply to reach 7%, then grow to 35% by 2050. In the Current Measures Scenario, the freight sector gradually becomes more efficient, with improvements mostly focused on engine efficiency and aerodynamics. We also project much lower uptake of electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and less use of biofuels. Freight energy use decreases in the net-zero scenarios, and increases in the Current Measures Scenario Total energy use in the freight transportation sector increases in the near term as shipping volumes recover to pre-pandemic levels. In the longer term, demand trends downward in both net-zero scenarios. This decrease is primarily due to growth of electric and hydrogen fuel cell freight vehicles, both of which are more energy efficient compared to ICE vehicles. This effect is partially offset by steadily growing demand for freight transportation services. In the Current Measures Scenario, energy use in the freight sector increases by 25% over the projection period. Figure R.12 shows end-use demand by fuel in the transportation sector, including passenger, freight and off-road energy use in the Global Net-zero Scenario, and total end-use demand in the other two scenarios. 60 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORTransportation GHG emissions Emissions from the transportation sector decline steeply in both net-zero scenarios while staying relatively flat in the Current Measures Scenario. We project that GHG emissions in the Global Net-zero Scenario fall by 90% from 2021 to 2050, and to a similar level in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. In both net- zero scenarios, these reductions are driven by our assumptions about policies like the federal mandatory zero-emission vehicle sales targets and steadily increasing economy-wide carbon pricing. Declining costs of certain technologies such as batteries in EVs and hydrogen vehicles also factor into our projections. While Canada achieves net-zero by 2050 in our net-zero scenarios, some emissions from the transportation sector remain in 2050, mainly in the aviation and freight sectors. In the Current Measures Scenario, emissions fall steadily after 2025, with continued emission reductions in the passenger sector offsetting growing emissions in the freight sector. Figure R.12: Transportation sector end-use demand by fuel, Global Net-zero Scenario 61 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORPrimary energy demand In this analysis, primary demand is the total amount of energy used in Canada. Primary demand is calculated by adding the energy used to generate electricity14 and hydrogen to total end-use demand, and then subtracting the end-use demand for electricity and hydrogen. Primary demand is higher than end-use demand due to factors such as heat loss in thermal electric generation, and the energy required for the hydrogen production process. In both net-zero scenarios, total primary demand falls, largely a result of declining fossil fuel use Coal use continues its current declining trend, largely due to the phase out of coal-fired power generation. Demand for RPPs falls, largely due to much greater use of electricity in the transportation sector. One source of crude oil demand that is relatively stable over the projection period is for non-energy products such as asphalt, lubricants, and petrochemical feedstocks. Natural gas demand declines in both net-zero scenarios, and increases in the Current Measures scenario Natural gas demand falls due to electrification of home heating, less natural gas use in the upstream oil and natural gas sectors, and efficiency improvements in the residential and industrial sectors. The decrease in natural gas demand is less than for coal and RPPs, as we project that natural gas becomes increasingly used in the power generation sector when coupled with CCUS, and as a feedstock for hydrogen production. In the Current Measures Scenario, primary energy demand is relatively flat until 2040, before increasing in the last decade of the projection period. Figure R.13 shows primary demand by fuel for all three scenarios. 14 Including fossil fuels, nuclear, and renewable energy. See Figure R.25 for a breakdown of these demands. 62 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORFigure R.13: Primary energy demand by fuel, all scenarios KEY UNCERTAINTIES Energy demand • Energy use drivers: The need for energy in each sector is driven by our projections of activity in that sector, like economic output of various industries or population growth. Different outcomes for any of the energy use drivers could impact the long-term energy outlook. • Technology: We make assumptions about the costs of various energy technologies in the future. Costs that are different than we assume will change the decision-making of energy users and the energy use projections in our scenarios. We explore some of these uncertainties in the “What if” cases throughout this report. • Behavioural change: Energy users’ decision-making changes as societal preferences change over time. For example, preferences could evolve towards more or less dense cities, more remote work, or bigger or smaller homes, all of which can influence energy use projections. 63 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORElectricity Canada’s electricity system is currently among the lowest emitting in the world, with 81% of the sector’s generation coming from low- or non-emitting sources. This is largely due to Canada’s hydroelectric generation resources, which supplied over 61% of Canada’s electricity in 2021. Nuclear generation and, increasingly, wind and solar, also contribute to Canada’s high proportion of non- emitting power generation. To develop the electricity production projections in EF2023, we rely on a model that simulates the operations and the investment decisions of the electricity sector, while also ensuring reliability of the system. The model builds new generation, storage and transmission infrastructure based on minimizing the total system costs throughout the projection period. We also incorporate our assumptions about policies and the costs and operational characteristics of various generation technologies. Factors beyond these can impact the development of a wide array of energy projects, including electricity projects. Examples include concerns about air quality, safety, noise, competing land-uses, or visual impacts. Societal preferences and how they may evolve in the future, are largely beyond the scope of our analysis but have potential to impact the projections for any of the electricity generation technologies we describe in this section. 64 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORKEY TRENDS Electricity • Electricity use more than doubles over the projection period in both net-zero scenarios. • We project the most growth in wind generation in all scenarios, including the Current Measures Scenario, despite less ambitious climate policies and more modest technology cost improvements. • The electricity system decarbonizes and becomes net-negative by 2035 with the deployment of BECCS generation facilities. Electricity use As described in the “Energy demand” section of this chapter, we project that electricity demand grows significantly in all end-use sectors in both net-zero scenarios. This growth is driven by wide-scale adoption of EVs and heat pumps, and electrification of some industrial activities. In addition, as we describe in more detail in the “Hydrogen” section of this chapter, hydrogen production becomes a significant source of new electricity demand in the future. Finally, we project construction of direct air capture (DAC) facilities, which become another new source of electricity demand later in the projection period. We describe the role of DAC in the “Negative emissions” section later in this chapter. Figure R.14 shows electricity demand by sector in the Global Net-zero Scenario. Overall, we project electricity demand to grow 120% from 2021 to 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario, and 135% in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. In both scenarios, the annual rate of demand growth is almost triple that of the 1995 to 2019 period. In the Current Measures Scenario, electricity demand grows more slowly than in the net-zero scenarios, increasing by 62% over the projection period.Canada’s electricity system is regionally diverse The generation mix in each province and territory is largely determined by the resources it has available. Quebec, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, and BC have significant amounts of hydro generation, whereas Alberta, Saskatchewan, and remote and northern communities rely more on fossil fuel generation. Ontario and New Brunswick both have diverse electricity mixes, including nuclear. This regional diversity means that the emission reduction pathways in our net-zero scenarios are unique to each region’s specific circumstances. The electricity sector has exhibited the greatest reduction in emissions among Canada’s major sectors, cutting emissions by more than half from 2005 to 2021. Many provinces reduced emissions from this sector during that time, with the biggest reductions from Ontario and Alberta. Ontario phased out coal-fired generation by 2015 and Alberta is likely to do so by the end of 2023. In total, the electricity sector accounted for 8% of Canada’s emissions in 2021. Electricity use increases while emissions decrease in the net-zero scenarios In the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios, electricity becomes the cornerstone of Canada’s energy system. In both scenarios we project the amount of electricity generated and consumed in Canada in 2050 more than doubles from current levels. While the need for electricity grows, we project the electricity system also reduces emissions to net-zero by 2035 in both scenarios. This reduction in emissions is led by growth in wind, nuclear, hydroelectric, and natural gas-fired generation with CCUS, and the phase out of coal-fired electricity generation. After 2035, GHG emissions from the electricity sector become net- negative, meaning the sector removes more emissions than it emits through deployment of bioenergy coupled with CCUS technology (BECCS). 65 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOROur electricity projections are also influenced by changes in day-to-day and seasonal electricity use patterns. As new uses of electricity emerge, the annual peak in electricity demand in a system will likely change. This change will influence how electricity systems evolve as utilities and system operators need to reliably meet the annual peak in electricity demand, which might occur for only an hour or two in a year. In both net-zero scenarios, the annual hourly peak of electricity demand grows in all regions This increase is because of growing electricity use overall, but also growing use of devices that increase electricity use more during a certain period during the day or in a particular season. For example, EVs typically draw relatively large amounts of electricity over a short period when owners plug them in. Similarly, greater use of heat pumps means that overall electricity demand is more sensitive to weather than it is now. Figure R.14: Electricity use by sector, Global Net-zero Scenario What if electricity vehicle charging patterns result in higher peak electricity demand? Sales of EVs in Canada have quickly increased in recent years, reaching over 8% of total vehicle sales in 2022. While ICE vehicles rely on RPPs like gasoline and diesel as their source of energy, EVs are powered by electricity stored in large batteries, which drive electric motors, propelling the vehicle. EV batteries are charged using the same electricity grid we use to power other aspects of our daily lives. EVs need more electricity than most other household devices Most currently available EVs consume about 3,000 to 6,000 kilowatt- hours (kWh) in a year based on 20,000 km of driving. A new refrigerator uses about 500 kWh per year. Currently, most EV charging occurs through a charger installed in a garage or at a dedicated public charging station. Most EV charging occurs at a fairly high rate of power transfer in order to charge batteries quickly. Most home chargers can charge a depleted battery in 4 to 12 hours. Many public EV charging stations are much quicker than home chargers. EV owners tend to plug their vehicles into chargers when they arrive home. For many drivers, this is often in the late afternoon when they return from work. Residential electricity demand is often already high during these hours, including higher use of stoves and electronics. It is also often the hottest part of the day in the summer, meaning more air conditioning units may be running. If charging patterns are not managed as the share of EVs grows, EV charging could contribute to much higher electricity use during peak times. The level of peak electricity demand throughout the day and over the year affects how electricity systems develop. Utilities and system operators need to continually meet the electricity needs of users, but also have sufficient capacity to meet annual peak electricity demand, which might be for only a few hours in a year.66 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORHow EV charging patterns affect peak electricity demand largely depends on how much utilities and grid operators can more evenly spread charging out across the hours of the day. Charging patterns can be influenced through market mechanisms, such as offering consumers lower electricity prices during certain hours of the day when demand is lower. Most home chargers can be controlled by consumers or grid operators to delay charging to lower demand hours. “What if” EV charging during peak hours is not managed? In the Global Net-zero Scenario, we assume that a combination of price signals, technologies, and behavioural changes result in charging that is more evenly spread across the hours of the day. In this “What if” analysis, we explore how uncoordinated EV charging might impact the electricity system and ultimately the total amount of electricity generating capacity required. This analysis, the Uncoordinated Charging Case, models an outcome where more drivers charge their EVs during peak hours. Peak electricity demand in each province and territory increases throughout the projection period in the Global Net-zero Scenario as total electricity demand increases and electricity use patterns change. For example, peak electricity demand in Ontario was 22.2 gigawatts (GW) in 2021. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, peak demand is 177% higher by 2050, reaching 61 GW. This increase in peak demand is similar in magnitude in many other provinces and territories. However, while total electricity use is identical in both cases, peak demands by 2050 in most provinces and territories in the Uncoordinated Charging Case are between 1 and 5% higher than in the Global Net-zero Scenario. Despite this higher peak in demand, the overall impact on system-wide needs for new capacity is relatively small, as we project some changes to the generation mix compared to the Global Net-zero Scenario, as well as changes to the operations of the electricity system.Energy systems become more flexible, potentially accounting for uncoordinated charging Figure R.15 shows an example winter day in 2050, showing hourly electricity demand in BC with coordinated and uncoordinated EV charging. The emergence of hydrogen as a new source of electricity demand requires building more electricity generation capacity. However, hydrogen production is a flexible source of electricity demand. During periods of high demand, hydrogen production using electricity can be reduced to accommodate the needs of the electricity system. That flexibility allows the electricity systems in several regions to accommodate the higher peak demand in the Uncoordinated Charging Case without significant additional investment in generating capacity. We project that many provinces utilize this flexibility in both the Global Net- zero Scenario and Uncoordinated Charging Case to offset peak periods of demand. Without this demand flexibility, the difference in peak demand in the two scenarios would have been higher, requiring more investment in new generation in the Uncoordinated Charging Case. Figure R.15: Example daily hourly electricity demand in British Columbia by use, winter of 2050, Global Net-zero Scenario and Uncoordinated Charging Case 67 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORWind generation increases while solar decreases in the Uncoordinated Charging Case As shown in Figure R.16, compared to the Global Net-zero Scenario, we project more wind and less solar generation in the Uncoordinated Charging Case. In this case, electricity use is higher during the early evening and lower during the day. Because solar generates more during the day than in the evening, solar generation is less valuable in the Uncoordinated Charging Case relative to the Global Net-zero Scenario and less solar generation is built. Conversely, wind tends to blow more during the evening period, so becomes a more valuable asset to the electricity system in the Uncoordinated Charging Case. By 2050, wind generation is 4% higher in the Uncoordinated Charging Case compared to the Global Net-zero Scenario, while solar generation is 32% lower. Natural gas without CCUS is used more often in the Uncoordinated Charging Case Finally, in some provinces, we project higher generation from natural gas with and without CCUS. To accommodate the highest peaks in generation throughout the year, some provinces have natural gas-generating facilities without CCUS that are utilized very rarely in the Global Net-zero Scenario. In the Uncoordinated Charging Case these assets are utilized more often in order to meet higher and more frequent peaks in electricity demand. As a result of more frequent natural gas use, there are slightly higher GHG emissions from the electricity sector in the Uncoordinated Charging Case. Greater use of EVs, along with greater electricity use across the energy system, would likely require investments in local distribution system infrastructure to ensure sufficient capacity to deliver electricity during high demand periods. This need for additional infrastructure could be increased by uncoordinated EV charging, but this is beyond the scope of this analysis. The analysis in EF2023, and in this “What if,” focuses on the bulk power system and does not model local electricity distribution systems. Figure R.16: Difference in generation between the Global Net-zero Scenario and the Uncoordinated Charging Case in 2050, by select fuel 68 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORElectricity production To meet rapidly growing electricity demand while also decarbonizing electricity production, we project significant changes to Canada’s electricity system in both net-zero scenarios. Our assumptions about policies like carbon pricing and the proposed Clean Electricity Regulations mean that almost all electricity-generating facilities built over the projection period are low- or non-emitting, or even net- negative in terms of GHG emissions. Given the diversity of Canada’s electricity system today, there is considerable variety in how each region’s electricity system evolves in our net-zero scenarios. Technologies deployed include wind, solar, hydro, nuclear, fossil fuel with CCUS, and BECCS. Meanwhile, power generation from coal and natural gas not equipped with CCUS drops quickly over the first decade of the projection and is near zero after 2035. Figure R.17 shows the difference in capacity, by fuel, from 2021 to 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario.Figure R.17: Change in electricity capacity from 2021 to 2050, by fuel, Global Net-zero Scenario Figure R.18: Electricity generation by fuel, all scenarios We project that electricity production grows more slowly in the Current Measures Scenario when compared to the net-zero scenarios. There are also fewer policies aimed at reducing the sector’s GHG emissions. Still, while not as dramatic as in the net-zero scenarios, in-place policies, along with our assumptions of modest technology cost improvements, result in strong growth in low-emitting generation sources. Figure R.18 shows electricity generation by fuel in each scenario.69 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORWind and solar In all three of the scenarios in EF2023, we project substantial growth of wind generation and steady growth of solar. Our modeling suggests that the low capital and operating costs of both resources make them among the most attractive options for utilities and power producers to increase electricity generation to meet growing demand while also reducing GHG emissions. Onshore wind generation increases significantly in all scenarios Electricity generation from onshore wind increases the most among all generation technologies considered in our analysis. We project that wind generation grows ninefold in both the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios, making up over a quarter of all electricity produced in Canada by 2050. In the Current Measures Scenario, wind generation does not grow as quickly as in the net-zero scenarios, but still increases substantially from current levels, and seven times higher by 2050. Onshore wind generation grows the most in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. This is in part due to strong wind resources in these provinces. In addition, wind generation often matches periods of high electricity demand in these regions, making the energy it generates particularly valuable. For example, in Alberta, it is often windier during the winter, coinciding with periods when demand from electric heat pumps is also high. Offshore wind grows in both net-zero scenarios This technology currently not deployed in Canada, but increasingly used in Europe and Asia. Grid-connected offshore generation reaches 23 TWh by 2050. All of that generation comes from offshore wind facilities15 built off the coast of Nova Scotia. As we discuss in the hydrogen section, additional offshore wind capacity is built off the coast of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland & Labrador and is directly connected to hydrogen electrolysis facilities aiming to export hydrogen to international markets. 15 The CER is the federal regulator responsible for exploration, construction, operation, and decommissioning activities related to renewable energy projects and power lines in Canada’s offshore areas. Any inclusion of offshore wind in our projections has no bearing on any regulatory proceeding before the CER related to the development of offshore renewable energy. 70 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORSolar generation grows steadily in all three scenarios Like wind, solar generation becomes one of the most economic choices for utilities and power producers in most regions. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, utility-scale solar generation becomes an important aspect of the electricity system in many provinces, with total Canadian generation growing from 2.5 TWh of generation in 2021 to 50 TWh in 2050. By 2050, solar generation makes up around 5% of total electricity generation in both the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios. In the Current Measures Scenario, solar generation grows at a similar rate as in the net-zero scenarios. We also project steady growth of distributed solar generation installed primarily on rooftops of residential and commercial buildings. The growth is driven by declining costs and supporting policies such as net-zero building policies and voluntary actions by companies to reduce their environmental footprint. Total installed rooftop capacity reaches 8.2 GW by 2050, meeting 2.5% of residential and commercial electricity demand in the Global Net-zero Scenario. Figure R.19 shows generation from wind and solar in the Global Net-zero Scenario.Matching electricity supply and demand Compared to most power generation technologies, wind and solar are unique in that their power output is tied to weather patterns, specifically wind speeds and sunlight. Other generating technologies, like hydroelectric or fossil fuel-based generation, can usually adjust their output, although different resources can adjust more quickly and cost effectively than others. This adjustment is important, because electricity systems must constantly balance electricity production and consumption in real time. Electricity consumption can vary significantly over a day and from season to season in response to factors like the patterns of daily life and weather conditions. Wind and solar become important sources of bulk power in all our scenarios but adjustable sources of power remain critical to balancing electricity systems. Our modeling takes this necessity into account, ensuring the electricity needs of users are met, and regional electricity demand and supply are in balance on an hourly basis. Figure R.20 shows our projections of hourly electricity demand and generation on two typical days in Alberta in the summer and the winter of 2050. Figure R.20: Example hourly electricity supply and demand in Alberta for a day in summer and winter, 2050, Global Net-zero Scenario Figure R.19: Generation from onshore wind, offshore wind, and solar, Global Net-zero Scenario 71 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORHydroelectricity Hydroelectricity is currently the core of many provincial electricity systems, making up 90% or more of generation in Newfoundland and Labrador, Manitoba, Quebec, and BC. Hydroelectric generation is emission-free, and most facilities can vary power generation to help grids balance electricity supply and demand. Hydroelectric generation grows steadily and at a similar rate in all three scenarios Hydroelectric generation increases around 26% from 2021 to 2050 in each scenario. Total hydroelectric generation as a share of total Canadian generation falls from 61% in 2021 to 38% in 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario, as other generation sources increase more quickly. Our projections of hydroelectric power include the Site C project in BC, which is currently under construction. Our technology cost assumptions indicate that building a new hydroelectric facility is relatively expensive compared to many other options. Most growth in hydroelectric power occurs in provinces with existing hydroelectric facilities The geography of those regions presents more opportunities for additional hydroelectric projects or expansions. In both net-zero scenarios, hydroelectric generating capacity increases the most in Quebec (+11% from 2021 to 2050) and Manitoba (+40%). Most hydroelectricity growth comes from projects that are currently under construction and projected new developments. The remainder comes from upgrades to existing hydroelectricity units. 72 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORNuclear Nuclear power is a key component of Ontario and New Brunswick’s electricity systems. Nationally, nuclear power generation made up 14% of total electricity generation in 2021. In all three scenarios, we project nuclear generation to vary over time as some of the large nuclear facilities are refurbished, meaning the units are modernized to extend their usable life. We assume Ontario’s nuclear fleet is refurbished as per the schedule laid out by the Ontario Independent System Operator in its 2022 Annual Planning Outlook.Figure R.21: Nuclear generation by technology, Global Net-zero Scenario Small modular reactors (SMRs) increase significantly in both net-zero scenarios In all three scenarios, we do not project any new large-scale nuclear facilities are built over the projection period, as other generation technologies more cost- effectively meet growing electricity demand given our assumptions. However, in both net-zero scenarios, we project considerable growth for small modular reactors (SMRs), particularly in the 2035 to 2050 period. Along with renewable technologies, these nuclear SMR units play a pivotal role in Canada’s electricity system in the net-zero scenarios. By 2050, generation from SMRs make up 12% of total electricity generation by 2050 in both net-zero scenarios, with large additions in Ontario, Alberta, and BC. In the Current Measures Scenario, nuclear generation remains close to current levels through much of the projection period, with very limited growth in SMRs. Figure R.21 shows nuclear generation over the projection period in the Global Net-zero Scenario.73 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORWhat if small modular reactor (SMR) technology matures less quickly and is more costly? Canada has a long history with nuclear power, with three large-scale power facilities operating in Ontario, and one in New Brunswick. About 14%, or 82 TWh, of Canada’s electricity came from nuclear power in 2021. Recently, some governments, utilities, and power producers have focused on SMRs as a potential way to meet future electricity demand growth with a carbon-free generation option. In 2020, the Government of Canada released its SMR Action Plan, and in 2022 the governments of Ontario, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, and Alberta released A Strategic Plan for the Deployment of SMRs. In the fall of 2022, Ontario Power Generation began site preparation activities and applied to the Canada Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission for a license to construct an SMR at the existing Darlington nuclear site. SMRs are an emerging class of nuclear reactors that are smaller than conventional nuclear power plants in terms of size and power output. The modular aspect of SMRs means many components of a facility are factory-built, shortening plant construction times. SMRs can be used to generate electricity and to produce steam for some industrial applications such as in-situ oil sands operations. SMR building costs fall and generation increases in the Global Net-zero Scenario In EF2023, our electricity sector analysis relies on assumptions about the costs of various technologies. The electricity model then projects the future electricity generating mix based on the demand for electricity and the costs and characteristics of a wide range of options to generate electricity. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, we assume the capital cost of building and connecting a new SMR to the grid is 2022$9,180 per installed kilowatt (kW) of capacity in 2030, falling to 2022$7,080/kW in 2050. Given these assumptions, and the costs and characteristics of other generating facilities, we project nuclear power generation to more than double from current levels by 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario. All of that growth is from SMRs, which are almost all built in the post-2035 period. About 52% of this growth occurs in Ontario, where the nuclear industry is already well-established, along with notable additions of SMRs in Quebec, BC, and Alberta. Low SMR Case: “What if” SMR building costs remain high? As SMRs are an emerging technology, there is considerable uncertainty as to how much the technology will ultimately cost, especially 25 years or more in the future. To explore this uncertainty, we modeled the Low SMR Case, where we assume higher capital costs for SMRs than in the Global Net-zero Scenario. In the Low SMR Case, we assume that the capital cost of building a new SMR is 2022$10,170/kW in 2030, falling to 2022$9,173/kW in 2050. The results of this analysis suggest that higher costs for SMRs translates into less investment in SMRs and greater deployment of a variety of other generating technologies. Generation from SMRs is 34% lower in the Low SMR Case than in the Global Net-zero Scenario. The share of generation from SMRs by 2050 in the Low SMR Case is 9% of total generation in Canada, compared to 12% in the Global Net-zero Scenario. 74 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOROther types of electricity generation increase in the Low SMR Case Lower use of SMRs to meet electricity demand affects the broader electricity mix. Compared to the Global Net-zero Scenario, the installed capacity and generation of almost all other forms of generation increase in the Low SMR Case, with the largest increases in wind and natural gas with CCUS, as shown in Figure R.22. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, SMRs played a role in supporting the electricity system as a flexible source of electricity production. In the Low SMR Case, more of this flexible generation comes from natural gas with CCUS. Figure R.22 Difference in generation between the Global Net-zero Scenario and the Low SMR Case in 2050, by select fuel Given the emerging nature of SMRs, there is uncertainty in the role they will play in achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. This “What if” analysis shows that lower use of SMRs results in an increased capacity and generation from a diverse mix of technologies. However, the overall GHG emissions from Canada's electricity sector in the Low SMR Case still remain close to the Global Net-Zero Scenario. 75 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIn the Current Measures Scenario, unabated natural gas-fired generation increases steadily. Natural gas-fired generation grows by 38% from 2021 to 2050, making up 11% of total generation at the end of the projection period. We do not project any natural gas generating units with CCUS in the Current Measures Scenario. Figure R.23: Fossil fuel generation by fuel, Global Net-zero Scenario Fossil fuels All provinces and territories have some fossil fuels in their electricity generation mix, and in 2021, 18% of all electricity generated in Canada came from facilities powered by fossil fuels, including coal, natural gas, and RPPs. The majority of generation in Nova Scotia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories was fossil fuel based. Unabated fossil fuels remain only for emergencies in the net-zero scenarios In both net-zero scenarios, we project that generation from coal is completely phased out by 2030. This phase-out, along with steady growth in electricity use, means natural gas-fired electricity generation increases early in our projections. We also project unabated fossil fuel generation, meaning no CCUS is used to capture emissions, is nearly zero after 2030. Our assumptions about policies and costs of other technologies mean low- and non-emitting power sources are the most cost-effective option for generating electricity. Some unabated generation facilities remain online throughout the projection period, providing an option for emergency generation if required. The share of unabated fossil fuel generation falls from 18% in 2021 to 2% by 2035, and further decline to less than 1% of generation in 2050. An exception is the Territories and other remote and northern regions, where many communities rely solely on diesel-fired generation. Natural gas with CCUS is a flexible power source in the net-zero scenarios While unabated fossil fuel generation is largely phased-out in the net-zero scenarios, natural gas-fired generation combined with CCUS becomes an important part of the generation mix in some regions. Natural gas with CCUS is first deployed in 2030 and grows steadily throughout the projection period, reaching 69 TWh by 2050. While more expensive compared to wind and solar per unit of electricity generated, natural gas with CCUS is a flexible source of power, meaning it plays an important role in balancing electricity systems, particularly those that do not have many other flexible options. Most additions of natural gas with CCUS are in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. Figure R.23 shows fossil fuel generation by fuel in the Global Net-zero Scenario.76 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORBiomass In 2021, just over 2% of Canada’s electricity is generated from biomass, much of which is in BC. Biomass and biofuel combustion releases CO2 that was originally captured and stored in plant matter. Plants release this stored CO2 when they die naturally. As a result, we consider biomass and bioenergy a low-carbon source of energy when well managed. In both net-zero scenarios, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), becomes a key technology that supports decarbonization of the electricity sector and Canada as a whole. Generating electricity using BECSS can result in negative GHG emissions by permanently storing carbon that would otherwise be temporarily stored in plants. As a result, BECCS generation serves a dual purpose in the energy system, providing electricity to the grid and offering a source of negative emissions. We assume those negative emissions can then be sold to other power producers or industries outside of the power sector aiming to offset their GHG emissions. Negative emissions from BECCS plays an important role in both net-zero scenarios In the Global Net-zero Scenario, BECCS generation begins in 2035 and grows to reach 51 TWh in 2050, or 4% of total generation. The negative emissions resulting from BECCS are 9 MT in 2035, and 41 MT by 2050 in both net-zero scenarios. We discuss total GHG emissions from the electricity sector later in this section. In both net-zero scenarios, bioenergy plays an increasingly important role, in electricity as well as in the entire energy system. However, the annual availability of sustainable biomass feedstocks is limited by biological constraints and competition with other economic sectors like forestry and agriculture. An analysis of available biomass resources and our projections of its usage within Canada’s energy system shows that the bioenergy used for electricity generation is well within the total resource supply. Hydrogen Hydrogen can be used to generate non-emitting electricity. The hydrogen is combusted to turn a turbine, much like a natural gas-fired facility. Currently there is no hydrogen-powered electricity generation in Canada. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, we do not project any hydrogen use in the power sector as other generating technologies meet the power system’s needs at a lower cost. However, in the Canada Net-zero Scenario, we project a small amount of hydrogen-fueled electricity generation in Alberta late in the projection period. The higher cost of carbon pollution in that scenario makes hydrogen an attractive power generation option in Alberta during peak demand periods. In addition, electricity demand is higher in Alberta in the Canada Net-zero Scenario compared to the Global Net-zero Scenario due to higher oil and natural gas production, increasing electricity demand. Hydrogen generation in Alberta reaches 1.4 TWh, or just less than 1% of total Albertan generation in 2050. 77 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORStorage Storage of electricity, either directly in batteries or other forms like compressed air or pumped hydro storage, can help balance electricity supply and demand. It allows electricity to be stored during times of high production or low use, and then be used when production is low, or use is high. Storage provides a source of complimentary electricity to renewable power sources like wind and solar. Currently, a number of provinces have grid-connected battery storage systems including about 90 MW in Alberta and 50 MW in Ontario. In both net-zero scenarios, we project growth in battery storage, while other forms of storage are not built. By 2030, we project 1.5 GW of battery storage in the Global Net-zero Scenario, reaching 9 GW by 2050. There is no battery storage built in the Current Measures Scenario. In EF2023, our electricity modeling focuses primarily on electricity supply and demand. As a result, the incentive to build battery storage facilities is based on storing inexpensive power and then discharging it later at a higher price. Batteries can also provide other functions that support the electricity system, like short- term reliability services. The potential for additional revenue from these services could increase the attractiveness of battery storage beyond what we model in EF2023. In addition, hydrogen production using electricity is an important source of flexible demand in our net-zero scenarios. This source of flexibility provides similar grid-balancing functionality as other storage options. Lower hydrogen production using electricity would mean there is more need for grid-balancing options and could result in greater need for battery and other storage options. 78 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORTrade and transmission Canada is a net exporter of electricity to the U.S., and electricity is also traded between provinces, mainly in eastern Canada. In 2021, Canada exported 60 TWh of electricity and imported 13 TWh. The total aggregated interprovincial electricity flows in 2021 was 47 TWh. In both net-zero scenarios, net exports of electricity to the U.S. fall modestly from current levels This decline is in response to growing Canadian electricity demand. Meanwhile, we project the aggregate interprovincial trade increases by about 16% in 2050 compared to 2021 levels, facilitated by some additional transmission capacity between provinces. By connecting the electricity grids of different regions, grid operators can take advantage of regional differences in electricity mixes, available variable renewable energy, and periods of peak electricity demand. Without additional transmission capacity, some individual provinces could need to install more generation or storage capacity than we project in both net-zero scenarios. In the Current Measures Scenario, interprovincial electricity trade grows more slowly. Figure R.24 shows our projections of net exports out of Canada and aggregate interprovincial trade volumes in the Global Net-zero Scenario. International and interprovincial trade remains relatively small when compared to total generation. Electricity market developments in the U.S. may evolve differently than our projections. More, or less, exports could increase or decrease the incentive to build additional generation capacity in Canada. Likewise, the extent to which additional interprovincial electricity capacity is built would influence the extent provinces can benefit from trade with neighboring provinces and alter how much generation must be built in those provinces to meet growing electricity demand.Figure R.24: Net exports of electricity and interprovincial trade, Global Net-zero Scenario 79 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOR Electricity production in the Territories and other remote and northern regions Electricity systems in the Territories and remote and northern regions of some provinces are unique. These regions are not connected to the North American electricity grid, and in many communities, electricity is generated from small diesel-fired stations. Diesel remains the main fuel source for the Territories in both net-zero scenarios Electricity generation in Yukon and Northwest Territories is a mix of hydro, natural gas, and diesel-fired generation, and in Nunavut, diesel generation is the sole source of electricity. Combined, the Territories make up less than 1% of Canada’s total electricity generation. In both net-zero scenarios, we project that the current forms of electricity in each territory remain the main sources over the projection period. Currently, diesel is often relied upon in remote communities because it is transportable, energy-dense, and readily available. However, the remoteness of communities can create supply security issues and high transportation costs for fuel. Diesel is also often used for space heating in addition to electricity generation in many of those regions. Some diesel consumption is offset with wind and solar generation built over the projection period. Combined, the Territories add 86 MW of wind over the projection period, and 118 MW of solar.16 Together these represent 18% of generation in the territories by 2050. 16 The CER’s Market Snapshot: Clean Energy Projects in Remote Indigenous and Northern Communities provides details on upcoming clean energy projects in these regions. 80 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOREnergy use associated with electricity generation Energy used to generate electricity made up a quarter of total primary energy use in Canada in 2021. We project energy use by the electricity sector to increase nearly 90% by 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario, 100% in the Canada Net- zero Scenario, and 30% Current Measures Scenario. Figure R.25 shows our projection of energy use to generate electricity in the Global Net-zero Scenario.GHG emissions associated with electricity generation We project that GHG emissions from the electricity sector, which made up 8% of Canada’s emissions in 2021, reaches net-zero by 2035 in both net-zero scenarios. After 2035, the electricity sector becomes a net-negative emitter, resulting in net-negative emissions of 36 MT by 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario, and 35 MT in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. Some types of generation result in positive emissions throughout the projection period, including the fraction of emissions CCUS does not capture, diesel generation in remote and northern communities, and limited amounts of unabated natural gas-fired generation. Figure R.26 shows GHG emissions of the electricity sector by fuel in the Global Net-zero Scenario.Figure R.25: Energy use to generate electricity by fuel, Global Net-zero Scenario Figure R.26: GHG emissions from electricity generation, by fuel, Global Net-zero Scenario 81 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOR KEY UNCERTAINTIES Electricity • Export markets: Electricity market developments in the U.S. will impact the development of Canada’s electricity system. Higher or lower integration with the U.S. power system than we project could impact the amount and type of new electricity generation built in Canada. • Electricity transmission: While our projections suggest building electricity transmission between provinces results in lower total system costs in both net-zero scenarios, building large-scale electricity transmission will be influenced by a diverse range of factors. Less transmission would change the electricity investment outcomes in our scenarios. • Societal preferences: Electricity generation can have positive and negative impacts on the communities around them, including particulate emissions, safety concerns, visual impacts, and competition with other land uses. These factors will influence future electricity outcomes, but are beyond the scope of EF2023. 82 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOROil and natural gas production Crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (NGLs) are produced in Canada for domestic use as well as for export. Most of Canada’s crude oil is produced in Alberta, along with significant volumes from Saskatchewan and offshore Newfoundland and Labrador. Nearly all of Canada’s natural gas production is from Alberta and BC. In this analysis, we project crude oil, natural gas, and NGL production by simulating investment and operational decisions of producers based on our assumptions about international and domestic crude oil and natural gas prices, applicable policies, resource characteristics, and the costs of production, including the costs of various technologies to reduce emissions. The prices of crude oil and natural gas that we assume account for the global supply and demand balance in each scenario. We assume that if Canadian producers can earn a profit, they choose to produce oil and gas.Crude oil Canadian crude oil production has been growing steadily for many years, increasing 87% from 2005 to 2019. Production declined by 5% in 2020, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, production started increasing again and averaged 4.9 million barrels per day (MMb/d) (781 thousand cubic metres per day (10³m³/d)). Production grew again in 2022 and reached its highest level ever at 5.0 MMb/d (800 103m3/d). Crude oil production declines in the long term in both net-zero scenarios Total crude oil production continues to increase after 2022 in all three scenarios in the near term, because of relatively high prices over that period. However, each scenario evolves very differently in the medium and long term. Figure R.27 shows total crude oil production in all three scenarios. Figure R.27: Crude oil production (including condensate and pentanes plus), all scenarios 83 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIn the Global Net-zero Scenario, we project that crude oil production peaks in 2026, and then declines steadily thereafter, reaching 1.22 MMb/d (194 103m3/d) in 2050, a 76% decrease from 2022 levels. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, production continues to grow until near the end of the decade before beginning to decline, falling to 3.92 MMb/d (623 103m3/d) by 2050. In the Current Measures Scenario, we project production grows to a peak of 6.20 MMb/d (986 103m3/d) by 2035, and remains just below that level for the remainder of the projection period. The differences between these scenarios are mostly explained by the different assumptions we make about the price of crude oil. We describe these assumptions in detail in the previous chapter, Scenarios and Assumptions. In the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios, we align our assumptions with crude oil prices from the IEA’s WEO2022 scenarios. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, we take the global crude oil price from the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario and in the Canada Net-zero Scenario, we use prices from the IEA’s Announced Pledges Scenario. The prices we assume in the Current Measures Scenario are based on a review of price projections by various other organizations. Table R.2 shows our crude oil price assumptions. Table R.2: Brent crude oil price assumptions, all scenarios 2030 2050 Scenario 2022US$ per barrel 2022US$ per barrel Global Net-zero 35 24 Canada Net-zero 64 60 Current Measures 75 75 Our assumptions about climate policies also affect our projections of crude oil production. All scenarios include all policies currently in place. In the net-zero scenarios, we include any announced but not-yet-implemented climate policies to the extent feasible. These policies include the federal methane regulations, which aim to reduce methane emissions by 75% by 2030, and the oil and gas emissions cap. In both instances, the final policy design was not available before our modeling was complete. As a result, we relied on simplifying assumptions to include these policies in our analysis. Further details on those assumptions are available in Appendix 1: Domestic Climate Policy Assumptions. Canadian crude oil production includes three main types of production: oil sands, conventional, and offshore.KEY TRENDS Crude oil production • In the Global Net-zero Scenario, oil production falls by 76% from 2022 to 2050 to 1.22 MMb/d (194 103m3/d) because global oil demand falls to very low levels, resulting low crude oil prices that challenge the economic viability of many Canadian producers. • In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, production falls 22% from 2022 to 2050 to 3.92 MMb/d (623 103m3/d), because oil prices are high enough to sustain more production. • CCUS capacity in the oil sands peaks at 27 MT in 2033 in the Global Net-zero Scenario and 49 MT in 2035 in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. • Oil sands emissions fall 94% from 2005 levels by 2050 in Global Net-zero Scenario and 76% from 2005 levels by 2050 in Canada Net-zero Scenario.84 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOROil sands production Oil sands production comes from bitumen deposits located in Alberta, where bitumen is mined in surface pits or produced using wells and steam (called in-situ production). The oil sands made up nearly two-thirds of Canadian production in 2022. Oil sands production grows at a similar pace in the near term in all three scenarios Production is between 4 to 7% higher by 2030 compared to 2022 levels depending on the scenario. Most of this growth is from a small number of existing projects who expand their facilities. We project that oil sands production in each of the three scenarios differs considerably after 2030. These differences are mainly driven by our assumptions about global crude oil prices, which are lowest in the Global Net-zero Scenario, higher in the Canada Net-zero Scenario, and highest in the Current Measures Scenario. In addition, climate policies in each scenario influence investment decisions, including how producers use technology to reduce emissions. Figure R.28 shows oil sands production by facility type in all scenarios.Oil sands production falls after 2030 in the Global Net-zero Scenario After 2030, oil sands production in the Global Net-zero Scenario begins to steadily decline. This decline is largely because oil prices fall to 2022US$35 per barrel in 2030 and continue to decrease thereafter. Oil prices fall because of much lower global demand for oil as more stringent climate policies are implemented globally, as demonstrated in the IEA’s WEO2022 Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario. In other words, oil producers around the globe are facing a rapidly shrinking market. Though falling prices are the dominant factor, our projections also factor in increasingly strong climate policies in Canada, which reduce emissions but also increase the costs of production. Only the most efficient projects produce in 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario Over the projection period, falling prices make it increasingly difficult for oil sands producers to recover their operating costs and keep projects running. Operating costs include fuel, maintenance, royalties paid to provincial governments, carbon pollution costs (including any remaining carbon pollution after CCUS is installed, as we assume CCUS captures 90% of emissions from large point sources), and, when necessary, the cost of diluent so bitumen can be diluted and shipped on pipelines. In our analysis, shortly after the total operating costs of a facility exceeds its revenue, it shuts down for the remainder of the projection period. Oil sands facilities that have the highest operating costs begin shutting down early in the 2030s. As oil prices continue to drop, more and more facilities shut down production, and only the lowest-cost projects are still producing in 2050. Oil sands production falls to 1.59 MMb/d (252 103m3/d) in 2040 and 0.58 MMb/d (91 103m3/d) in 2050, or 83% lower than in 2022. In-situ production falls faster than mining production because in-situ projects are more emissions-intensive, meaning they have higher carbon costs than oil sands mines.Figure R.28: Oil sands production by type, all scenarios 85 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOR Production declines less and more slowly in the Canada Net-zero scenario In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, oil sands production also declines after 2030, but at a slower rate compared to the Global Net-zero Scenario. While global demand for oil falls in the IEA’s WEO2022 Announced Pledges Scenario, demand is still much higher than in their Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, meaning oil prices are much higher. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, oil sands production decreases in line with the gradual natural declines in production exhibited by oil sands projects, which become more mature over the projection period. Production in the Canada Net-zero Scenario falls from a peak of nearly 3.64 MMb/d (579 103m3/d) in 2030 to 2.30 MMb/d (366 103m3/d) by 2050, or 30% lower than 2022. Like in the Global Net-zero Scenario, in-situ production falls faster than mining production. Oil sands production grows steadily in the Current Measures Scenario In the Current Measures Scenario, we project that higher global prices and less stringent future climate policies result in continued growth in oil sands production over the projection period. Expansions of existing projects leads to much of the growth, with some greenfield projects also coming online. Oil sands production rises from 3.29 MMb/d (523 103m3/d) in 2022 to 3.73 MMb/d (593 103m3/d) in 2030 and largely holds steady, reaching 3.59 MMb/d (571 103m3/d) by 2050.Oil sands producers significantly reduce emissions in both net-zero scenarios This is due to increasingly strong climate policies, which cause oil sands producers to deploy emission-reduction technology. The primary source of GHG emissions from the oil sands is from burning natural gas, which is used to boil water to create steam for in-situ production and to create hydrogen to upgrade bitumen into synthetic crude oil. Our modeling projects that CCUS is the most economic choice for many oil sands producers to reduce emissions. We project that oil sands producers retrofit existing projects with CCUS early in the projection period in both net-zero scenarios and install it on any new projects. In the Current Measures Scenario, only a small amount of CCUS is installed. Other decarbonization technologies have potential, like using solvents to help with bitumen recovery or SMRs to generate heat without using natural gas. Given our assumptions about the costs and characteristics of different technologies, CCUS is the primary choice for oil sands producers in both net-zero scenarios. However, our projections could show different decarbonization pathways if these technologies proved less costly or more effective than we assume. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, we project that 12.5 MT of CO2 is captured annually by 2030, increasing to a peak of 22.5 MT by 2036, as shown in Figure R.29. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, producers rely even more on CCUS, mostly because oil sands production remains higher, reaching 15.0 MT of emissions captured in 2030 and 45.0 MT in 2037. Figure R.29: GHGs captured and permanently stored from the oil sands using CCUS, Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios86 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOROverall, GHG emissions in the oil sands peak at 87 MT per year in 2023 in the Global Net-zero Scenario before falling to 61 MT per year in 2030 and 4 MT per year in 2050, a 94% drop from 2005 levels. GHG emissions peak at 88 MT per year in 2023 in the Canada Net-zero Scenario before falling to 55 MT per year in 2030 and to 8 MT per year in 2050. Some producers in the Global Net-zero Scenario choose not to add CCUS because oil prices are too low for them to install it and recover invested capital, and instead produce what bitumen they can before they shut down later in the projection period. What if carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology is more expensive? CCUS is a suite of technologies that capture CO2, typically from the exhaust of industrial or power facilities. The captured CO2 can then be permanently stored in geological formations deep underground or permanently mineralized in cement. CO2 can also be potentially used to make products like synthetic fuels, rather than storing it. In this “What if” analysis, we focus on the application of CCUS in the oil sands. Many modeling exercises have identified CCUS as a key technology for reducing emissions from sectors where reducing emissions through other methods like electrification or alternative fuels may be too difficult or costly. In its Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, the IEA projects CCUS will capture 6.2 gigatonnes of CO2 by 2050, or nearly 17% of global CO2 emissions in 2021. In that scenario, CCUS is mostly used in industry, power generation, and for hydrogen production. Canada is currently adding more CCUS projects In Canada, crude oil producers have been injecting captured CO2 into oil wells to enhance recovery rates since the early 1980s. Saskatchewan’s coal-fired Boundary Dam Generating Station added CCUS to one of its units in 2014 and has captured more than 5 MT of GHG emissions since. In Alberta, two carbon capture projects, Quest and Alberta Carbon Trunk Line, were commissioned in 2015 and 2020, respectively, increasing Alberta’s annual carbon storage capacity to 3 MT by the end of 2022. Many new projects proposed in Alberta are described in detail in the CER Market Snapshot: New projects in Alberta could add significant carbon storage capacity by 2030. To encourage CCUS deployment, the federal government announced investment tax credits for CCUS projects that permanently store captured CO2. We include these tax credits in our analysis. Photo credit: Suncor87 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORCCUS deployment will depend on costs In EF2023, we make assumptions about the costs of various technologies, including CCUS, in our oil sands analysis. The model then simulates the operational and investment decisions of oil sands producers based on those assumptions as well as other factors. However, the actual deployment of CCUS will strongly depend on its eventual costs. The costs we assume could be optimistic. In this “What if” analysis, we consider what oil sands production and CCUS deployment in the sector might look like if costs of CCUS are higher and deployment of CCUS is lower. Table R.3 shows the lifecycle costs we assume for the construction and operation of a CCUS facility, including the cost of transporting CO2 in a pipeline, in both net-zero scenarios and for this “What if” analysis. Table R.3: Lifecycle cost of construction and operation of CCUS facilities in the oil sands, including transportation, Net-zero scenarios and Low CCUS cases 2030 2050 2022$ per tonne2022$ per tonne2022$ per tonne2022$ per tonne In-situ Upgrading In-situ Upgrading Global Net-zero and Canada Net zero Scenario117 93 95 76 Global Net-zero and Canada Net-zero Low CCUS cases233 186 191 152 In this “What if” analysis, the only assumption we change is the cost of CCUS, to see how sensitive oil sands production and emissions are to changes in CCUS cost. We keep our assumptions about policies and crude oil prices the same as in the main net-zero scenarios.In the Global Net-zero Scenario, higher CCUS costs significantly reduce the use of CCUS As shown in Figure R.30, producers build much less CCUS in the Global Net-zero Low CCUS Case than in the original scenario. However, as shown in Figure R.31, oil sands production is about the same in 2030. From 2030 to 2050, on the other hand, production falls faster than in the original Global Net-zero Scenario. More producers choose not to build CCUS and face higher operating costs as they pay for increasing costs for carbon pollution. Once those operating costs exceed revenues, projects begin to shut down, and production is 0.47 MMb/d (74 103m3/d) lower in 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario Low CCUS Case. Emissions are 27% higher than in the original scenario in 2030, because less CCUS is installed by then, though are 7% lower in 2050, as production is lower. Figure R.30: GHG emissions from the oil sands captured using CCUS, Global Net-zero and Canada Net-zero Scenarios and Low CCUS cases 88 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORProducers delay building CCUS in the Canada Net-zero Scenario Low CCUS Case In the Canada Net-zero Scenario Low CCUS Case, producers delay adding CCUS because of higher costs, but still build similar amounts by 2050 as in the original scenario as CCUS costs decrease over time. Production from the oil sands is slightly lower in the original scenario, because while oil prices are high enough to keep existing projects running, there is somewhat lower investment in expanding production. Emissions are 33% higher in 2030 than in the original scenario, while they are roughly the same by 2050. Figure R.31: Oil sands production by type, Global and Canada Net-zero scenario, and total oil sands production, Low CCUS casesConventional onshore oil production Alberta and Saskatchewan produce most onshore, conventional crude oil in Canada, with smaller amounts of production from Manitoba, BC, Northwest Territories, and Ontario. Conventional production was 1.01 MMb/d (160 103m3/d) in 2022. Conventional crude oil can be classified as light or heavy, depending on the density of the oil. Western Canadian conventional crude oil production is roughly half light and half heavy. Figure R.32 shows conventional crude oil production in all three scenarios, and production by type in the Global Net-zero Scenario. Figure R.32: Conventional onshore oil production by province and type, Global Net-zero Scenario In all three scenarios, conventional crude oil production increases toward 2025 as relatively high prices sustain drilling activity and production. Much of this growth is from tight oil in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and heavy oil production in Saskatchewan, particularly from thermal oil projects. 89 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORConventional oil production declines after 2026 in the Global Net-zero Scenario We project production to peak relatively soon in the Global Net-zero Scenario, reaching 1.18 MMb/d (188 103m3/d) by 2026. After 2026, production declines steadily through the remainder of the projection period. Steadily declining crude oil prices reduces revenues for oil producers and results in less drilling for new production in following years, meaning not enough new production comes online to replace production declines in existing wells. By 2050, conventional crude oil production is 0.47 MMb/d (74 103m3/d), 54% lower than in 2022. Most of the remaining production in 2050 is light crude oil, mainly because of declines in heavy oil production. Production remains steady in the Canada Net-zero Scenario, and grows in the Current Measures Scenario Conventional production continues to increase in the medium term in the Canada Net-zero Scenario, largely due to higher crude oil prices. Production increases gradually, reaching 1.22 MMb/d (195 103m3/d) 2030 and staying near those levels until 2050. Conventional crude oil production grows the most in Current Measures Scenario, rising to 1.60 MMb/d (255 103m3/d) in 2050.Conventional oil is more resilient compared with the oil sands in the Canada Net-zero Scenario Overall, in the Canada Net Zero Scenario, conventional production remains relatively resilient when compared to oil sands production, which falls. This is largely because the two sectors have very different cost structures and produce oil very differently. Projects in the oil sands have very high up-front costs and take years to build. In addition, oil sands production rates tend to decline slowly over the multi-decade life of a project, though this decline can be slowed if additional capital is invested. These factors mean that oil sands projects are built on the basis of recovering their upfront investments over a long period of time, and project proponents must consider the long-term uncertainty about global oil demand and crude oil prices in their investment decisions. Conventional producers, on the other hand, have a shorter time horizon to consider in their investment decisions. This is because tight oil wells, which make up most conventional wells being drilled today and over the projection period, produce most of their oil in the first few years after being drilled. In the Canada Net Zero Scenario, conventional producers respond to relatively high prices by drilling enough new wells to maintain relatively flat production through most of the projection period. In both net-zero scenarios, conventional oil producers reduce emissions in response to the climate policies that we assume, like regulations to reduce methane emissions and the oil and gas emissions cap. Compared to the oil sands, conventional oil production burns relatively little fuel, although it has higher methane emissions. The exception is Saskatchewan’s thermal-heavy oil projects, which use natural gas much like Alberta’s in-situ oil sands projects. In both net-zero scenarios, producers make technological and process changes, like restricting venting levels from devices like compressors and implementing leak detection and repair programs. We also project that, where feasible, the sector uses more electricity for production and processing. 90 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORAvailability of crude oil export pipeline and rail capacity A key issue for Canada’s energy system over the last ten years has been export capacity of western Canadian oil export pipelines and crude-by-rail. When total export capacity is full, price differences between Canadian oil markets and our export markets expand, particularly during unexpected outages, which causes western Canadian oil producers to earn less revenue than they otherwise would. Figure R.33 is a simplified, illustrative comparison of our projected western Canadian crude oil supply available to export and an illustrative level of total export capacity from pipelines, planned pipeline expansions, and structural rail.17 Available capacity on existing pipeline systems could be higher or lower than reflected in Figure R.33, because pipeline systems evolve over time. The level of structural crude-by-rail could also be higher or lower than reflected in this figure. Comparing oil available for export and the amount of export capacity helps us to understand whether pipeline constraints might affect crude oil production. We do not, however, adjust projected crude oil production or what we assume for western Canadian oil prices based on potential constraints. That said, our near-term oil sands projections are largely based on publicly available producer investment plans, which could include expectations about future export capacity. Crude oil available for export stays below export capacity in both net-zero scenarios In the Global Net-zero Scenario, western Canadian crude oil available for export rises in the near term before falling after 2030, staying below the total export capacity throughout the projection period. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, western Canadian crude oil available for export rises more in the near term and remains higher than in the Global Net- zero Scenario after 2030, though still remains below export capacity. Declining demand for RPPs demand for RPPs in western Canada reduces demand for oil at local refineries, which leaves more production available for export. In the Current Measures Scenario, supply comes close to, but does not exceed, export capacity for much of the projection period, peaking in 2035, and declining gradually thereafter. 17 Structural rail refers to crude oil that is exported by rail regardless of a given WCS-WTI differential. Companies may choose to export crude oil by rail in this way due to a number of factors. These include existing contractual commitments, ownership of the crude-by-rail infrastructure, and the need to access locations not well connected by pipeline.EF2023 does not explore the complex interactions between pipelines, energy supply, and energy demand For example, some spare pipeline capacity can benefit crude oil producers by increasing flexibility as it could help producers more easily switch where they ship their oil, and therefore find higher values for their production. Spare capacity can also help ship oil that might otherwise back up into western Canada during pipeline maintenance or unplanned outages. On the other hand, excess capacity and long-term underutilization of pipelines could result in higher pipeline tolls for crude oil producers. Analysis of these considerations is beyond the scope of EF2023. We caution readers from drawing definitive conclusions from the illustrative comparison shown Figure R.33. It is also important to note that estimates of total available pipeline capacity and the level of structural rail is uncertain and the result of many key assumptions. Table R.4 describes the assumptions underpinning Figure R.33.

Total 5,363 Offshore oil production Offshore oil production comes from wells drilled in Canada’s offshore areas. Currently only Newfoundland and Labrador produces offshore oil. Offshore production was 0.23 MMb/d (37 103m3/d) in 2022. While some production currently comes from Hibernia and other nearby fields, most offshore production now comes from the Hebron field, which came online in late 2017. In all three scenarios, the Bay du Nord offshore project comes online in the late 2020s, increasing Newfoundland and Labrador’s oil production. As shown in Figure R.34, the amount of production we project from the Bay du Nord facility varies by scenario, with the least amount of new production coming online in the Global Net-zero Scenario and the most coming online in the Current Measures Scenario. This is because oil prices in 2030 and later are lowest in the Global Net- zero Scenario and highest in the Current Measures Scenario. Figure R.34: Offshore oil production, all scenarios 92 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORGHG emissions from offshore oil production peak around 2030 in all three scenarios, and then decrease toward 2050. In particular, GHG emissions decline faster than production in all three scenarios. This decrease is because older projects in Newfoundland and Labrador’s offshore tend to have higher emission intensities and shut down before newer projects, which have lower emission intensities. This means the average emission intensity for a barrel of offshore oil falls over time, accelerating the decline in total emissions. Emissions fall to less than 5% of 2019 levels by 2050 in both net-zero scenarios. KEY UNCERTAINTIES Crude oil • The pace of global climate action: Canada exports most of its oil production, meaning our producers depend on markets outside of Canada to buy most of our oil supply. Demand for Canadian oil depends very strongly on how aggressively the world pursues emission reductions. • Technology used to decarbonize the oil sands: In EF2023, the oil sands mainly use CCUS to decarbonize. However, if CCUS costs, and the costs of other emission-reduction technology, like solvents and SMRs, do not significantly fall, or these technologies turn out to be inadequate, the oil sands may find decarbonization even more challenging. In a rush to decarbonize the sector, constraints on labour and supplies might prevent costs from falling as much as we assume. • Western Canadian export capacity: Export capacity from western Canada consists of several pipelines, as well as rail and marine vessels. Interruptions or reductions to pipeline capacity, temporary or permanent, can affect western Canadian prices and production. 93 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORNatural gas Alberta and BC produce most of the natural gas in Canada, with smaller amounts of production from Saskatchewan, Ontario, Northwest Territories, and New Brunswick. Natural gas production grew from 13.9 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) (394 million cubic metres per day (106m3/d)) in 2012 to 16.1 Bcf/d (456 106m3/d) in 2021, and to 17.3 Bcf/d (490 106m3/d) in 2022, because natural gas and natural gas liquid (NGL) prices rose significantly in 2021 after Russia invaded Ukraine. Most natural gas in Canada comes from tight gas, which is from reservoirs that need to be hydraulically fractured to flow at economic rates. Most tight gas in Canada comes from the Montney Formation of BC and Alberta. In 2022, the Montney Formation produced 8.1 Bcf/d (228 106m3/d), just less than half of Canada’s gas production and up from 0.8 Bcf/d (23 106m3/d) in 2010.Our projections for natural gas production largely depend on price Prices determine producer revenues and capital available to potentially invest in drilling new wells from year to year. Like crude oil prices, our natural gas price assumptions in both net-zero scenarios are from the IEA’s WEO2022 scenarios, and the assumptions in the Current Measures Scenario are based on a review of price projections by various other organizations. Table R.5 shows our natural gas price assumptions. A related factor that influences our projections is the difference, or differential, between the Henry Hub gas price and local prices in western Canada. Factors such as bottlenecks on Canadian pipeline systems have affected this differential in the past. Differentials that vary from what we assume could cause production to differ from our projections. Table R.5: Henry Hub natural gas price assumptions, all scenarios 2030 2050 Scenario 2022US$ per MMBtu 2022US$ per MMBtu Global Net-zero 2.00 1.80 Canada Net-zero 3.70 2.60 Current Measures 3.75 4.40 Our natural gas projections depend on our assumptions about LNG exports. We describe our assumptions about LNG in detail in the Scenarios and Assumption chapter. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, we assume LNG exports begin in 2025, reaching 2.0 Bcf/d (57 106m³/d) by 2029, and then dropping to 0.3 Bcf/d (8 106m³/d) by 2046 in response to falling LNG demand globally. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, LNG exports reach 3.8 Bcf/d (108 106m³/d) by 2030. In the Current Measures Scenario, LNG exports are the highest, reaching 4.6 Bcf/d (131 106m³/d) by 2034.KEY TRENDS Natural gas production • In the Global Net-zero Scenario, gas production falls by over two thirds from 2022 to 2050, mostly because natural gas prices fall to much lower levels. • In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, production falls 24% from 2022 to 2050, declining less than in the Global Net-zero Scenario due to somewhat higher prices for natural gas and higher liquified natural gas (LNG) export assumptions. • The Montney Formation produces more than half of Canada’s total gas production in all three scenarios starting in 2025, and more than 60% in 2050. Our projections for natural gas production largely depend on price94 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIn the Global Net-zero Scenario, Canadian production peaks at 17.4 Bcf/d (492 106m³/d) in 2023, because of relatively high gas prices in 2021 and 2022. After staying near those levels until 2026, production steadily falls to 5.5 Bcf/d (156 106m³/d) in 2050, because of lower investment in drilling new wells. Producer revenues decrease, largely because of lower natural gas prices, but also higher costs related to reducing emissions and complying with various climate policies. Natural gas production declines in the net-zero scenarios, and rises in the Current Measures Scenario In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, production rises to 17.7 Bcf/d (500 106m³/d) in 2030, because natural gas prices and LNG exports are higher than in the Global Net-zero Scenario. Production then falls to 11.0 Bcf/d (310 106m³/d) in 2050, largely because of falling gas prices which reduces producer revenue and investment in drilling new gas wells. In the Current Measures Scenario, as gas prices grow from 2023 to 2050, LNG exports are higher than in the other two scenarios, and climate policies are less stringent than in the two net-zero scenarios, and production rises to 21.5 Bcf/d (607 106m³/d) in 2050. Montney Formation production grows and then falls by 2050 in both net- zero scenarios In all scenarios, the geographic location of production shifts over the projection period. BC has grown its share of total Canadian natural gas production over the past several years and this continues over the projection period, as shown in Figure R.35. A key driver of this is the growth of production from the Montney Formation, located in northeast BC and northwest Alberta. Most of the production from Montney is currently from within BC, and we project that this continues to be the case over the projection period in all three scenarios. As shown in Figure R.36, production from the Montney increased from 0.8 Bcf/d (23 106m3/d, or 6% of Canadian production) in 2010 to 8.1 Bcf/d (228 106m3/d, or 47% of Canadian production) in 2022. In all three scenarios, the Montney Formation’s share of production increases steadily, meaning that Canada’s natural gas production is becoming more concentrated in one area. Production from the Montney Formation falls to 3.4 Bcf/d (98 106m³/d) in 2050 in the Global Net- zero Scenario, 6.8 Bcf/d (194 106m³/d) in the Canada Net-zero Scenario, and increases to 14.8 Bcf/d (420 106m³/d) in the Current Measures Scenario. Figure R.35: Natural gas production by province, Global Net-zero Scenario, and total production, Canada Net-zero and Current Measures scenarios Figure R.36: Natural gas production by type, Global Net-zero Scenario, and total production, Canada Net-zero and Current Measures scenarios 95 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOREmissions from natural gas production continue to decline in the net-zero scenarios GHG emissions from the production and processing of natural gas peaked in 2007. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, emissions decline to 8 MT in 2050, a decrease of almost 90% from 2021 levels. This is largely because of falling natural gas production, but also because of various climate policies, including federal regulations aiming to reduce methane emissions by 75% by 2030. Electrification of the sector, where feasible, and the use of CCUS at larger natural gas- processing plants also contribute to declining emissions. The Canada Net-Zero Scenario follows a similar trend, with emissions falling to 9 MT in 2050. In the Current Measures Scenario, emissions decline to 2030 before rising to 42 MT in 2050 as production grows, and because policies do not become more stringent after 2030. KEY UNCERTAINTIES Natural gas • The pace of global climate action: Canada exports much of its natural gas production, meaning producers depend on markets outside of Canada to buy our gas supply. Demand for Canadian gas depends very strongly on how aggressively the world pursues emission reductions. • Technology used to decarbonize the oil sands: We project that CCUS is key to decarbonizing the oil sands, which allows natural gas to remain the main fuel supply for in-situ oil sands production. However, other potential technologies exist to decarbonize the oil sands, like solvents and SMRs, which do not consume natural gas. We do not project that these technologies are applied in the oil sands but if they become more attractive, western Canadian demand for natural gas could significantly fall, reducing natural gas prices and production. On the other hand, increased demand for solvents like propane and butanes could increase demand for NGLs, therefore increasing drilling for natural gas as a result. • Discounts for western Canadian natural gas: Differentials for western Canadian natural gas relative to Henry Hub could be affected by many things, including pipeline bottlenecks. • LNG exports: Small changes to economics can alter which projects are built and when, or when projects might shut down. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, the rapid decline in LNG exports from 2044 to 2046 could happen earlier if Canadian LNG exports are more costly relative to remaining global LNG supply, or exports could continue past 2050 if secured through long-term contracts. 96 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORNatural gas liquids NGLs are produced along with natural gas, as well as from oil sands and refinery processes. Natural gas production is the main source of NGL production in Canada. Demand for certain NGLs adds value to natural gas production and is a driver of natural gas drilling. Raw natural gas at a wellhead is comprised primarily of methane, but often contains NGLs such as ethane, propane, butanes, pentanes, and condensate. Figure R.37: NGL production, by type, Global Net-zero Scenario, and total NGL production, Canada Net-zero and Current Measures scenarios NGL production declines in the net-zero scenarios and grows in the Current Measures Scenario Figure R.37 shows total NGL production by type in the Global Net-zero Scenario along with total combined NGL production in the Canada Net-zero and Current Measures scenarios. Production grows around 4% from 2022 to 2026 in the Global Net-zero Scenario, reaching 1.29 MMb/d (205 103m3/d). Much of this production growth is condensate and pentanes plus. Condensate and pentanes plus are added to bitumen as a diluent to enable it to flow in pipelines and be loaded on to rail cars. Steady demand for condensate encourages natural gas drilling to focus on NGL-rich areas. As low gas prices reduce gas drilling and gas production, total NGL production declines after 2030 in the Global Net-zero scenario. NGL production continues to fall, reaching to 0.46 MMb/d (73 103m3/d) in 2050, 63% lower than in 2022.KEY TRENDS NGLs • In the Global Net-zero Scenario, production rises to 1.29 MMb/d (205 103m3/d) by 2026 before falling to 0.46 MMb/d (73 103m3/d) in 2050 following natural gas production trends. • NGL production is higher in the Canada Net-zero Scenario, increasing to 1.45 MMb/d (230 103m3/d) by 2030 before falling to 0.86 MMb/d (136 103m3/d) in 2050.97 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIn the Canada Net-zero Scenario, NGL production grows by 16% from 2022 to 2030, and declines gradually through the remainder of the projection period. Like the Global Net-zero Scenario, NGL production growth is dominated by condensate, though propane and butanes production grow as well. In the Current Measures Scenario, total NGL production grows 45% from 2022 to 2050, reaching 1.80 MMb/d (286 10³m³/d). In this scenario, NGL production growth is a result of natural gas production growth. KEY UNCERTAINTIES NGLs • Natural gas production and LNG exports: NGLs are a byproduct of natural gas production, and as such, any uncertainty discussed in the natural gas section applies for NGL projections. • Oil sands production: The rate at which production grows in the oil sands, and the amount of diluent blending required, will affect the demand for condensate. Likewise, if solvents are widely adopted in the oil sands to reduce GHG emissions, demand for propane and butanes would increase. • Petrochemical development: There is potential for ethane recovery to expand if there is an increase in the ethane extraction capacity and petrochemical facilities. This increase could be spurred by government programs, such as royalty credit incentives for petrochemical facilities in Alberta’s Petrochemicals Diversification Program. • Global exports: Several large-scale facilities have been approved by provincial and federal regulators to export some NGLs from the BC coast. The amount and composition of the NGLs exported at proposed and existing terminals could impact domestic NGL prices and the attractiveness of drilling for NGL-rich natural gas. 98 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOREnergy use in the oil and gas sector Canadian crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs are large sources of energy for domestic and international markets. However, the process of producing, processing, transporting, and refining these products requires a significant amount of energy. In 2021, the sector used around 3,000 petajoules (PJ) of energy, 27% of total Canadian end-use energy consumption.18 Most of this energy was natural gas, not only in the oil sands, but to power oil and gas wells, natural gas processing, petroleum refining, and gas pipelines. Propane or electricity is often used to fuel operations at oil and gas wells, and electricity typically powers oil pipelines. Over the projection period, the amount of energy used in each scenario is driven by the amount of future production, how fast energy efficiency improves, and additional energy used to run CCUS equipment, if any. Also, energy use to refine petroleum products and transport natural gas to end-users is driven largely by the domestic demand for those commodities. In all three scenarios, energy use in the oil and gas sector grows in the near term Energy use in the sector peaks in 2023 in the Global Net-zero Scenario and then falls by 75% by 2050 from 2021 levels, largely in line with falling production levels. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, demand falls 47% from 2021 to 2050, as higher crude oil production results in higher demand for energy in the sector compared to the Global Net-zero Scenario. In both net-zero scenarios, falling Canadian demand for RPPs and natural gas reduce energy use for refining and transporting energy to end-users. Increased deployment of CCUS technology impacts energy use in both net-zero scenarios. Capturing, compressing, and transporting CO2 from the exhaust stream of facilities takes energy. By 2050, energy used to power CCUS makes up 5% of oil and gas sector demands in the Global Net-zero Scenario, and 7% in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. In the Current Measures Scenario, efficiency improvements offset increased production levels and energy required for CCUS, and energy use in 2050 is 6% lower than in 2021. Figure R.38 shows total energy use in the oil and gas sector. 18 This is end-use demand, so excludes on-site electricity generation, which is captured in primary demand.Figure R.38: Energy use in the oil and gas sector by fuel, 2021 and all scenarios in 2050 99 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORFigure R.39: GHG emissions in the oil and gas sector, all scenarios GHG emissions from the oil and gas sector We describe the trends driving GHG emissions from the oil and gas sector in the previous sections of this chapter. In total, we project that GHG emissions from the oil and gas sector in the Global Net-zero Scenario fall from 189 MT in 2021 to 17 MT in 2050, a 90% decrease. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, emissions fall to 32 MT in 2050, or 83% lower than 2021 levels. This includes GHG emissions from the production and transmission of oil and natural gas, and liquefaction of natural gas, refining of crude oil, and distribution of natural gas to end-users. In both net-zero scenarios, CCUS and methane mitigation play an important role reducing emissions in the oil and gas sector. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, CCUS is particularly important because production of oil and natural gas is higher due to higher global demand and oil and gas prices. We also project some electrification of conventional oil and natural gas production currently met by fossil fuels. Some GHGs are still emitted in both net-zero scenarios by 2050 but Canada achieves net-zero because of negative emissions occurring in other sectors. In the Current Measures Scenario, emissions from the oil and gas sector decline moderately over the projection to 149 MT in 2050, 21% lower than in 2021. This scenario has the highest oil and natural gas production. At the same time, our assumption of limited future climate action in Canada in that scenario means the industry applies less emission reduction technologies compared to the net-zero scenarios. 100 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORHydrogen There is increasing interest in using low-carbon hydrogen as a fuel in both Canada and globally. Like electricity, hydrogen can be an energy carrier that transports useable energy created elsewhere to another location. When consumed, hydrogen does not result in GHG emissions. For more information on the fundamentals of hydrogen, see the Government of Canada’s Hydrogen Strategy , released in late 2020. Our focus in this section is on hydrogen use as an energy carrier and its production by methods that emit little or no CO2. We make projections about hydrogen use by simulating the energy choices of households and businesses, including the energy technologies and fuels they choose to use. We model hydrogen production to meet hydrogen use and export requirements. The type of hydrogen produced to meet that demand is based on technology costs, and the fuel availability and cost in different regions. We project that low-emitting hydrogen use reaches over 8.5 MT19 in 2050 in the Global Net- zero Scenario, about 12% of total energy use demand. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, hydrogen use is slightly higher at nearly 9.5 MT. In the Current Measures Scenario, low- emitting hydrogen demand is less than 1 MT by 2050, as fossil fuels remain an economically attractive energy source for many applications suitable for hydrogen. We assume some hydrogen exports in all scenarios, reaching 5 MT in the Global Net-zero Scenario in 2050, 4.5 MT in the Canada Net-zero Scenario, and 2.5 MT in the Current Measures Scenario. 19 Hydrogen is typically measured by mass. One MT is equivalent to approximately 120 PJ in energy terms. KEY TRENDS Hydrogen • Hydrogen becomes a significant part of energy use in the net-zero scenarios, especially in the industrial and transportation sectors. • Production of low emitting hydrogen comes from a mix of technologies, including natural gas with CCUS, electrolysis, and biomass gasification.101 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORHydrogen use There are a wide variety of potential uses for hydrogen as an energy carrier in the energy system, ranging from transportation fuel, energy for building or industrial heat, or for electric power generation. Canada currently uses about 3 MT of hydrogen for industrial applications like oil sands upgrading and chemicals and fertilizer production. This existing hydrogen is counted as natural gas in Canada’s energy balances, and in our data appendices. This production uses natural gas as a feedstock and results in CO2 emissions that are not captured. As discussed in the Energy Demand section of this chapter, we project hydrogen to become a key fuel in the heavy freight and industrial sectors in both net-zero scenarios. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, hydrogen use in transportation reaches nearly 5 MT by 2050, or nearly 30% of energy use in the transportation sector. Hydrogen primarily fuels long-haul transportation in heavy trucks, marine shipping, and hydrogen-based fuels are used to help decarbonize aviation. Hydrogen is used in industries like chemicals, iron and steel, and petroleum refining. Total industrial hydrogen use reaches 2.5 MT in the Global Net-zero Scenario, and 3 MT in the Canada-Net-zero Scenario, by 2050. In both net-zero scenarios, hydrogen use grows modestly to 2035 and accelerates thereafter We also project some use of hydrogen for building heating in both net-zero scenarios, but uptake is limited to blending with natural gas to be used in a natural gas furnace. However, the market share of natural gas furnaces declines over the projection period in the net-zero scenarios. As discussed in the Electricity section, we do not project any hydrogen use in the power sector in the Global Net-zero Scenario, and a small amount in the Canada Net-zero Scenario, reaching 0.13 MT by 2050. We also project that hydrogen produced from natural gas without capturing CO2 declines and is replaced by low-emitting hydrogen sources. Figure R.40 shows hydrogen demand by end-use in the Global Net-zero Scenario. In total, hydrogen’s role in Canada’s energy system is modest until 2035, at which point it accelerates and grows steadily to 2050 in the net-zero scenarios.Figure R.40: Hydrogen demand by end-use, Global Net-zero Scenario 102 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORWhat if the technologies to enable wide-scale adoption of hydrogen are more or less costly? Canada is already one of the world’s largest producers and users of hydrogen. Most of this occurs in Alberta where hydrogen is produced from natural gas and is used as a feedstock in various industrial applications. Alberta’s Hydrogen Roadmap states 55% of production is used for heavy oil upgrading, 38% in the chemicals sector, and 7% for oil refining. At present, this hydrogen is produced using natural gas as a feedstock, a process which releases CO2 emissions. According to the Alberta Energy Regulator, 19% of the hydrogen produced in Alberta in 2021 was from facilities equipped with CCUS, with the remaining at facilities venting the CO2 to the atmosphere. Many companies are actively expanding the production and use of hydrogen in Canada. An example of a recent project nearing completion is the Varennes Carbon Recycling plant, currently under construction in Quebec and aiming to be operational by 2025. The plant will produce biofuels and chemicals and will include an 87 MW electrolyzer to supply the hydrogen required for the process. Another example is the Air Products’ Canada Net-Zero Hydrogen Energy Complex in Alberta, which will use natural gas as a feedstock to produce low- emission hydrogen using auto-thermal reforming technology, coupled with CCUS. Federal and provincial governments are supporting the expansion of hydrogen as a fuel The federal government, British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec have all recently developed hydrogen strategies or roadmaps. The federal government is working to implement an investment tax credit for clean hydrogen and, along with many provinces, is supporting various proposed projects through technology funds and incentive programs. In EF2023, we make assumptions about the cost of the technologies used to produce hydrogen Along with prices for inputs like natural gas and electricity, these technology costs translate into the cost of hydrogen we rely on for modeling in our scenarios. Production costs range from $1.50/kg to 10.50/kg in 2030, and $1.00/kg to 7.00/kg by 2050, depending on production technologies and region. Our energy use model then considers how the relative costs of different fuels impacts household and business decision-making when investing in new energy-consuming devices. We also make assumptions about technology that use hydrogen, such as medium- and heavy-duty freight trucks, the amount of hydrogen blended into natural gas networks, and hydrogen exports. “What if” hydrogen supply and demand is higher or lower than in the Global Net-zero Scenario? We project hydrogen use in Canada reaches 8.5 MT in 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario. However, there is a wide range of factors that could result in different hydrogen supply and demand in the future, including different costs for technologies to produce and use hydrogen, and different amounts of hydrogen produced for export. In this “What If” analysis, we explore the impact on our projections if the drivers of hydrogen supply and demand are higher or lower than in the Global Net-zero Scenario. To do so, we modeled the Low and High Hydrogen cases, each with unique assumptions on hydrogen supply and demand technology costs, as well as hydrogen produced for export. These are summarized in Table R.6.103 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORTable R.6: Hydrogen-specific assumptions, Global Net-zero Scenario and High and Low Hydrogen cases Global Net-zero Scenario Low Hydrogen Case High Hydrogen Case Electrolyzer capital cost Capital costs declines 84% by 2050. Capital costs declines only 15% by 2050. Capital costs are 10% lower than the Global Net-zero scenario in 2050. Hydrogen production from natural gas using CCUS capital costCapital costs declines 40% by 2050. Capital costs falls 25% by 2050. Capital costs falls 50% by 2050. Hydrogen in transportation Fuel cell truck costs fall steadily, approaching parity with diesel vehicles in 2035-2050 period.Fuel cell truck costs are less competitive with battery-electric trucks. Hydrogen- based fuels play a lesser role in shipping and aviation.Fuel cell truck costs are more competitive with battery-electric trucks. Hydrogen- based fuels play a greater role in shipping and aviation. Hydrogen blending in natural gas networksHydrogen blending is 15-20% by volume for most provinces.Hydrogen blending limited to 5% by volume.Hydrogen blending limited to 20% by volume. Hydrogen produced for export Hydrogen produced for export is 1 MT by 2030 and 5 MT by 2050.Hydrogen produced for export is 1 MT by 2030 and 2.5 MT by 2050.Hydrogen produced for export is 2.5 MT by 2030 and 8 MT by 2050. The results of this “What if” analysis suggest that there is a wide range of possible levels of hydrogen use in the future. The Low Hydrogen Case shows a future where hydrogen plays a smaller role in Canada reaching net-zero by 2050. The High Hydrogen Case shows what could happen if hydrogen plays a bigger role in getting to net-zero. Figure R.41 compares hydrogen use and exports, as well as the technology used to produce it, in the Low and High Hydrogen cases and the Global Net-zero Scenario. In 2050, the Low Hydrogen Case shows demand and exports totaling 5 MT, 60% lower than in the Global Net-zero Scenario. The High Hydrogen Case shows demand and exports of 20 MT, 55% higher than in the Global Net-zero Scenario. Figure R.41: Hydrogen use and production in 2050, Global Net-zero Scenario, and High and Low Hydrogen cases 104 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORHigher or lower hydrogen use has implications for the overall end-use demand mix. Figure R.42 compares the end-use demand mix in 2050 for the Global Net-zero Scenario and the two hydrogen cases. In the Global Net-zero Scenario hydrogen makes up 12% of end-use demand in 2050, but this increases to nearly 20% in the High Hydrogen Case and falls to around 4% in the Low Hydrogen Case. At the end-use level, more hydrogen use in the High Hydrogen Case reduces electricity and bioenergy demands, while less hydrogen in the Low Hydrogen Case increases demands for electricity and bioenergy. Of course, energy is also needed to produce hydrogen, so compared to the Global Net-zero Scenario, overall demands for electricity and natural gas increase in the High Hydrogen Case and decrease in the Low Hydrogen Case. Hydrogen is a versatile fuel that plays a key role in Canada’s energy mix in the Global Net-zero scenario. At the same time, the adoption of hydrogen within Canada, and development of export markets for Canadian hydrogen is uncertain. This “What if” analysis projects a range of potential levels of Canadian hydrogen demand, and shows that there are important implications for other energy use trends, including electricity and natural gas.Figure R.42: End-use demand in 2050, Global Net-zero Scenario and High and Low Hydrogen cases 105 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORFigure R.43: Hydrogen production by technology, Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios Hydrogen production In EF2023, we model hydrogen production from three technologies: • Natural gas-based production, which uses steam methane reformation or autothermal reformation processes. The CO2 resulting from these processes is then captured and stored using CCUS. This process is sometimes referred to as blue hydrogen. • Electrolysis, which uses water as a feedstock and emission-free electricity as an energy source. This process is sometimes referred to as green hydrogen. • Biomass-based production, which uses biomass gasification to produce hydrogen. The CO2 resulting from these processes may or may not then be captured and stored using CCUS. For more information about different types of hydrogen production methods in Canada and around the globe see the CER Market Snapshot: Hydrogen could be part of the global path to net-zero. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, low-emitting hydrogen production is about 2 MT by 2030, increasing to around 14 MT by 2050, with similar trends in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. By 2050, 32% of hydrogen production is natural gas-based, 58% is via electrolysis, and the remaining 10% is from biomass. The relatively high amount of electrolysis production is due to very large reductions in electrolyzer costs that we assume in the net-zero scenarios, which makes hydrogen produced from electricity the most cost-effective option in many regions. In the Current Measures Scenario, hydrogen production growth is limited, and largely from natural gas with CCUS. Figure R.43 shows hydrogen production by type of feedstock in both net-zero scenarios. 106 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORHydrogen created with bioenergy and using CCUS results in negative emissions Biomass-based production of hydrogen increases to 1.5 MT in 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario. When coupled with CCUS, biomass hydrogen production results in negative emissions by permanently storing carbon that would otherwise be temporarily stored in plant matter. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, biomass hydrogen production results in 23 MT of negative GHG emissions by 2050. Types of hydrogen production depend on local resources We project that hydrogen production occurs in many provinces, with large volumes from Ontario, Alberta, Quebec, and BC. Hydrogen tends to be produced by electrolysis in regions rich with hydroelectric power, from natural gas in regions with lower cost natural gas and suitable CCUS storage reservoirs, and from biomass in regions with large biomass supplies. Notably, while electricity and hydrogen are both energy carriers, electricity itself is used to create hydrogen in our scenarios. There are energy losses in the electrolysis process but in some instances, there are benefits to using hydrogen instead of electricity. This is because hydrogen is more energy-dense compared to electricity stored in a battery. This makes it potentially attractive as a fuel for heavy freight compared to EVs, although this will ultimately depend on the future costs of both hydrogen and batteries. Hydrogen exports are supplied with a mix of electrolysis and natural gas with CCUS In the Global Net-zero scenario, we assume over 3 MT of hydrogen is provided by dedicated on- and off-shore wind electricity in Atlantic Canada. These exports use over 165 TWh of wind electricity per year to produce hydrogen for export in 2050.20 In the Global Net-zero Scenario, energy used to produce hydrogen increases to about 20% of total primary energy demand by 2050. Of this energy use, 60% is electricity (including dedicated renewable projects that produce hydrogen for our assumed exports), 25% in natural gas, and the remaining 15% is biomass. 20 These volumes of electricity generation are not included in the electricity generation and capacity, or energy demand values, because they are assumed to not be separate from local electricity systems. The wind energy volumes are captured in the primary demand value discussed in the Energy Demand section.GHG emissions associated with hydrogen production We project that GHG emissions from hydrogen production for use as an energy carrier are slightly positive from 2024 to 2032, a result of the fraction of emissions that are not captured by CCUS when hydrogen is produced from natural gas. By 2035, some biomass-based hydrogen production is coupled with CCUS and net emissions from the hydrogen sector become net-negative in both net-zero scenarios. By 2050, the net emissions from hydrogen production are -21 MT in the Global Net-zero Scenario and -25 MT in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. KEY UNCERTAINTIES Hydrogen • Domestic hydrogen markets and infrastructure: The use of hydrogen as a clean fuel, as projected in our net-zero scenarios, is currently in the early stages of development. The evolution of how and where hydrogen is adopted, the cost of production and end-use technologies, market pricing, and transportation infrastructure is uncertain. This could lead to different patterns of adoption than we project. • Hydrogen exports: There are various proposed projects aimed at producing hydrogen for export. Our scenarios include varying levels of hydrogen produced for export as well as associated dedicated offshore wind generation built to power hydrogen production. However, export volumes could be different than we assume depending on how global and domestic markets develop. 107 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORNegative emissions In most global and Canadian net-zero scenario analyses, net-zero outcomes include both positive and negative emissions that balance to zero at some point in the future. For some sources of GHG emissions, eliminating all emissions or reducing them at a pace sufficient to achieve zero emissions by 2050 may be very costly or impossible. In both of our net-zero scenarios, we project slightly positive emissions in 2050 in several sectors, including buildings, heavy industry, oil and gas, and transportation. These are balanced by negative emissions. Negative emissions can be realized in several ways, but all aim to remove CO2 from the atmosphere on a permanent or long-term basis. Nature can act as a carbon sink capable of storing carbon through natural processes Managing natural processes to capture and store GHG emissions is often referred to as nature-based solutions. An example of a nature-based solution is the federal government’s 2 Billion Trees Commitment, which aims to plant two billion trees over 10 years to address both climate change and biodiversity loss. KEY TRENDS Negative emissions • Negative emissions play a key role in offsetting remaining emissions from other sectors. • BECCS, direct air capture, and land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) all play important roles in reaching net-zero.LULUCF emission reductions are uncertain We do not model nature-based solutions in EF2023. Instead, we make assumptions about the emissions and removals from natural processes, which we account for in our assumptions about land-use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF). We describe these assumptions in the previous chapter, Scenarios and Assumptions. We assume negative emissions from the LULUCF of 50 MT by 2050 in both net-zero scenarios, and 13 MT in the Current Measures Scenario. However, there is some uncertainty on whether carbon stored through nature- based solutions will be permanent. Wildfires, infestations from insects like the pine beetle, or natural decay could release stored carbon and result in reduced impact from LULUCF in the future. Lower negative emissions from LULUCF would mean that greater emissions reductions from other sectors, or more negative emissions from other sources, would be needed to achieve net-zero emissions. A second source of negative emissions in both net-zero scenarios is the use of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage technology (BECCS). We describe our projections for BECCS in the electricity and hydrogen sections earlier in this chapter. BECSS delivers negative emissions through the combustion of biomass such as trees or crop waste to generate electricity, and then uses CCUS to permanently store the emissions. We project that the use of BECSS results in around 60 MT of negative emissions in both net-zero scenarios. 108 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORDAC is used to achieve negative emissions in both net-zero scenarios DAC technology, which we describe in more detail in the following text box, is another option to achieve negative GHG emissions. In our analysis, we model DAC based on our assumptions about its costs and the profitability of capturing CO2 emissions directly from the atmosphere. We assume DAC facilities are compensated for capturing emissions by emitters who want to offset their own emissions. In the Global Net-zero Scenario, we project that DAC facilities begin capturing emissions in the late 2030s, and by 2050, DAC results in negative emissions of 46 MT. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, DAC captures 55 MT of emissions by 2050 and in the Current Measures Scenario, no DAC facilities are constructed. DAC technology requires significant energy to draw in air and separate, compress and store CO2 There are a variety of DAC processes being tested and commercialized; in our modeling we assume DAC operations require both electricity and natural gas to power the process. Emissions from the natural gas used in the process are also captured and stored. By 2050, energy used to power DAC facilities makes up 4% of all end-use energy consumption in the Global Net-zero Scenario, and 5% in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. Figure R.44 shows our assumptions about negative emissions from LULUCF and the negative emissions resulting from our modeling of BECCS and DAC, compared to total GHG emissions from the rest of the economy, in the Global Net-zero Scenario.Figure R.44: Net emissions, Global Net-zero Scenario 109 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORWhat if direct air capture (DAC) technology matures more quickly and is less costly? DAC is an emerging technology that extracts CO2 directly from the atmosphere through a mix of physical and chemical processes. The CO2 can then be injected and stored in deep geological formations or be used as feedstock for different products such as synthetic fuels. By removing CO2 directly from the atmosphere, DAC has the potential to offset emissions from the activities whose emissions are hardest or most expensive to avoid. According to a recent report by the IEA on Direct Air Capture, there are 18 small-scale DAC plants operating in the world today, capturing a combined 0.01 MT CO2 per year. Interest in DAC is growing; for example, by late 2024, U.S. oil producer Occidental Petroleum Corp aims to complete construction of the world’s largest DAC plant, which could remove up to 1 MT CO2 per year. This is the largest of a growing list of proposed DAC plants across North America and Europe. DAC costs are uncertain, but may fall with time While existing DAC plants demonstrate the technical feasibility of the technology, costs remain uncertain. Some estimates put the costs at between US$325 and US$785 per tonne of CO2 captured for a plant built today.21 In comparison, Canada’s federal backstop carbon price is currently $65 per tonne of CO2e. DAC deployment will depend on building and operation costs, as well as prices for emissions captured As with many emerging technologies, it is possible that DAC costs will fall as new projects come online. Similarly, a higher price on carbon could present an incentive to build DAC facilities, either through direct compensation for captured CO2 or selling offsets to other industries looking to reduce their emissions. The role of DAC in Canada’s net-zero pathways will depend on the future of climate policies and the extent to which its costs will decline.In the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, DAC facilities capture 90 MT of CO2 by 2030 globally, less than half a percent of the CO2 emissions the IEA projects to be emitted in that year. This number rises to 980 MT of CO2 in 2050. Many other international net-zero pathways from other organizations see DAC taking a larger role in the future. Ultimately, the extent of its deployment will largely depend on its cost relative to other decarbonization options, as well as the price DAC facilities receive for emissions they capture. In EF2023, we rely on assumptions about the cost of DAC, including the cost to absorb, isolate, transport, and store the CO2. Our projections of DAC in different scenarios are based on its cost (as discussed in Table A.2) relative to other decarbonization technologies. DAC deployment begins in the mid-2030s in the Global Net-zero Scenario Given those assumptions, and the costs and characteristics of other carbon removal technologies, we project emission reductions from DAC to increase to 46 MT by 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario. We project most of the growth in DAC will occur starting in the mid-2030s once the most cost-effective decarbonization options are exhausted and the cost of DAC technology is lower. DAC is an emerging and uncertain technology and could play a larger role in reducing Canada’s emissions to net-zero. In this “What if” analysis, we model the High DAC Case, where we assume that the cost of DAC falls to 2022$125 per tonne of CO2 by 2050, compared to 2022$230 per tonne of CO2 in the Global Net-zero Scenario. In the High DAC Case, DAC sequesters 85 MT CO2 in 2050, nearly double that of the Global Net-zero Scenario. Figure R.45 compares the relative importance of DAC in reducing Canada’s emissions, relative to Canada’s net emissions of 732 MT in 2005. 21 World Resources Institute: 6 Things to Know About Direct Air Capture110 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORGreater use of DAC also impacts the energy system. First, more negative emissions from DAC means that the pressure to reduce emissions in other sectors is lower compared to a net-zero scenario with few negative emissions. Second, DAC processes use a large amount of energy. In the High DAC Case, more natural gas and electricity is used to operate DAC facilities. DAC use increases energy demand in the High DAC Case Figure R.46 shows the difference in energy demand between the High DAC Case and the Global Net-zero Scenario in 2050. Additional use of DAC increases natural gas demand by 1.5 Bcf/d (42 106m3/d), and electricity by 3.5 TWh. In the rest of the economy, more natural gas and other fossil fuels are used in the High DAC Case in place of some electricity, bioenergy, and hydrogen. The net effect of these changes is an over 600 PJ increase in energy use by 2050 relative to the Global Net-zero Scenario, or about a 7% increase. It is also possible that DAC might be used less than in the Global Net-zero Scenario. Less negative emissions from DAC would mean achieving net-zero will require more emission reductions from other parts of the economy. This could include greater use of electricity, bioenergy and hydrogen-based fuels, additional nature-based solutions to offset emissions, or a greater need for energy efficiency and conservation. DAC could account for an important share of Canada’s overall emission reductions. With faster technological advancement and increasing adoption, the High DAC Case shows a pathway where DAC accounts for over one tenth of the emission reductions required to reach net-zero. It also shows that greater DAC use could lead to significantly more natural gas and RPP demand than shown in the Global Net-zero Scenario.Figure R.45: Negative emissions from DAC, as a % of total GHG emissions in 2005, all scenarios Figure R.46: Difference in energy use between the Global Net-zero Scenario and High DAC Case in 2050, by fuel 111 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORKEY UNCERTAINTIES Negative emissions • Reliance on nature-based solutions: In our analysis, we limited the reliance on nature-based solutions in order to focus more on the potential energy technologies available to reach net-zero. However, some recent Canadian net-zero studies assume higher contributions of land-use change to reach net-zero.22 The ultimate contribution of these emissions is uncertain and could be higher or lower than we assumed. • Direct Air Capture: There is considerable uncertainty around the ability of DAC to contribute to Canada’s emission reductions. Cost trends could be significantly higher than we assume in the Global and Canada Net-zero Scenarios, and lead to different outcomes. • Balancing remaining emissions with negative offsets: The balance of negative emissions versus remaining emissions in our scenarios is in line with other Canadian net-zero studies. If negative emission technologies progress less quickly than we assume, faster reductions will be needed in other areas of the economy, potentially involving stronger policy action. On the other hand, if negative emissions develop faster, it is possible less stringent policies will be needed to achieve net-zero emissions. 22 The Canadian Climate Institute assumes a land-use contribution of -80 MT by 2030 and -105 MT by 2050, and ECCC’s recent Canada’s Long-Term Strategy Submission to the UNFCCC assumes -100 MT by 2050 in all scenarios.112 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORMacroeconomics The economy is a key driver of the energy system. Economic growth, industrial output, inflation, exchange rates, global demand, and population growth all influence energy supply and demand trends. The way they evolve will have a direct impact on Canada’s transition towards net-zero. Figure R.47: Economic indicators, annual % change from 2019 to 2050, all scenarios KEY TRENDS Macroeconomics • Continued population and economic growth across all scenarios. • Slightly slower growth in the Global Net-zero and Canada Net-zero scenarios.The long-term projections for key economic variables are in Figure R.47. Real (adjusted for inflation) economic growth averages 1.4% per year over the projection period in the Global Net-zero scenario. Growth is slightly higher in the Canada Net-zero and Current Measures scenarios, largely driven by stronger oil and gas prices, production, and export levels. The Canada-US exchange rate varies across the three scenarios, also related to the large variation in oil and gas activity and prices. Economic growth over the projection is generally slower than the historical average in all three scenarios. Reasons for slower growth include an aging population and slower global economic growth. KEY UNCERTAINTIES Macroeconomics • Global economic growth: Future global uncertainties, such as demand for Canadian exports, technology development, and commodity prices could impact future Canadian economic growth. This is especially true for the Global Net-zero Scenario, as policies and technologies used to reduce global emissions could lead to different macroeconomic outcomes than shown here. Likewise, geopolitical events, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, could impact future growth trends. • Impacts of climate change: The three scenarios do not include macroeconomic estimates of damages related to climate change. These could significantly reduce economic growth, particularly in scenarios like Current Measures, where only limited measures to reduce climate change are included. • Cost of decarbonization: The net-zero scenarios assume declining costs for key technologies, such as EVs, heat pumps, electrolyzers, and DAC. If these cost reductions do not materialize, achieving net-zero by 2050 could be more costly and involve lower economic growth than shown here. 113 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORAccess and Explore Energy Future Data • Figure Data (Excel) – Download the EF2023 figure data. • Full dataset (Open Gov) – Download all of the EF2023 data at once. • Data Appendix – Access customizable, downloadable tables arranged by variables. • Interactive Visualization – Interact and visualize EF2023 data behind long-term energy outlooks.

We review energy development projects and share energy information. We enforce some of the strictest safety and environmental standards in the world in a manner that respects the Government of Canada’s commitments to the rights of the Indigenous peoples of Canada. The CER regulates: • Oil & Gas Pipelines – Construction, operation, and abandonment of interprovincial and international pipelines and related tolls and tariffs. • Electricity Transmission – Construction and operation of international power lines and designated interprovincial power lines. • Exports & Energy Markets – Exports of certain energy products; monitoring aspects of energy supply, demand, production, development, and trade. • Exploration & production – Oil and gas exploration and production activities in the offshore and on frontier lands not covered by an accord. • Offshore renewables – Offshore renewable projects and offshore power lines. The Energy Information Program is one of four core CER responsibilities. We collect, monitor, analyze, and publish fact-based information on energy markets and supply, sources of energy, and the safety and security of pipelines and international power lines. Using tools like interactive pipeline maps and visualizations, we make complex pipeline and energy market data user-friendly and accessible. Our Commitment: • Canadians have access to and use energy information for knowledge, research, and decision-making. • Canadians have access to community-specific information about CER-regulated pipelines, powerlines, and other energy infrastructure. • Broader and deeper collaboration with stakeholders and partners informs our energy information.115 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORAbout this Report The CER’s Energy Information core responsibility is closely linked to its mandate and responsibilities under the Canadian Energy Regulator Act (CER Act), which includes advising and reporting on energy matters. As well, under Part 7 of the CER Act, the Commission of the CER authorizes the export of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil and petroleum products, and electricity. The Commission of the CER must not issue an authorization for the export of oil and gas unless it is satisfied that the quantity to be exported is surplus to Canadian requirements. The CER’s monitoring of energy markets and assessments of Canadian energy requirements and trends helps support the discharge of its regulatory responsibilities. This report, Canada’s Energy Future 2023: Energy Supply and Demand Projections to 2050, is the continuation of the Canada’s Energy Future series, and projects long-term Canadian energy supply and demand trends.

Around 80% of Canada’s GHG emissions are energy-related, so climate policy aimed at reducing emissions will affect Canada’s energy system. We make assumptions about the climate policies we model in each scenario in EF2023. This appendix includes additional details about the climate policy assumptions, beyond those included in the Scenarios and Assumptions chapter. Federal, provincial, and territorial climate policies that are currently in place are the basis of the Current Measures Scenario. A policy is “in place” if it was enacted prior to March 2023. We do not include announced policies that are not yet implemented in the Current Measures Scenario. The Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios include all in-place federal, provincial, and territorial climate policies. Both net-zero scenarios also include all announced but not-yet-implemented policies, to the extent possible. We applied the following criteria to determine whether an announced policy was included in our net-zero scenarios: • The policy was announced prior to March 2023 • Sufficient details exist to model the policy Final details of some of these policies were not available at the time of analysis. We include these policies by relying on assumptions about them, as necessary. Table A1.1 provides an overview of all major federal policies included in the three scenarios. Table A2.2 provides an overview of key policies in provinces and territories. In the Global Net-zero and Canada Net-zero scenarios, if the federal policy is more stringent than its regional equivalent, the federal one is modelled instead. For an exhaustive review of climate measures in Canada, see Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Fifth Biennial Report on Climate Change, and Canada’s revised NDC. All dollar values are given in $2022 Canadian unless otherwise stated.117 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORTable A1.1: Overview of Major Federal Policies in the Global Net-zero, Canada Net-zero, and Current Measures Scenarios Policy Description Global Net-zero and Canada Net-zero Scenarios Current Measures Scenario Backstop carbon pricingApplies a regulatory charge on fossil fuels at the end-use level based on the relative GHG emissions intensity of fuels.The fuel charge rises from $50 per tonne ($50/t) by 2022, then to $140/t ($170/t in nominal dollars, not adjusted for inflation) by 2030. It remains constant in nominal terms from 2030 to 2050 or $95/t in inflation-adjusted terms by 2050. Our modelling assumes most provincial systems follow this schedule, and by 2030 all provinces and territories match the federal price. Aggregate cost of carbonA hypothetical suite of policies, regulations, and programs in the 2030 to 2050 period represented by a carbon price that is added to the backstop carbon pricing.The aggregate cost of carbon is added to the carbon price backstop in both scenarios. Global Net-zero Scenario: Starting at $0/t CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) in 2030 and rising to $330 in 2050. Canada Net-zero Scenario: Starting at $0/t CO2e in 2030 and rising to $380 in 2050.Not included Output-based pricing system (OBPS)A performance-based carbon pricing system for industrial facilities. Applies the carbon price for every ton of excess emissions above a specified annual intensity limit. This system maintains a marginal incentive for reducing CO2 emissions, but reduces the average cost of compliance so industries can maintain international competitiveness.Global Net-zero Scenario: A 2% yearly tightening rate on emissions intensity is applied from 2023 to 2030, followed by a 3% tightening rate until all emissions are covered in 2050. The backstop carbon price and aggregate cost of carbon is applied to emissions above the intensity limit. Canada Net-zero Scenario: A 2% yearly tightening rate on emissions intensity is applied from 2023 to 2050. The backstop carbon price and aggregate cost of carbon is applied to emissions above the intensity limit. Given that the rest of the world does not reach net-zero in the Canada Net-zero Scenario, this trajectory maintains a level of support for trade- exposed industries.Most industrial sectors are required to reduce their emissions intensity by 20% relative to their 2014 to 2016 average from 2020 to 2050. If a facility exceeds the emissions intensity limit, it must pay the backstop carbon price on excess emissions or submit eligible credits. If a facility’s emissions are below the limit, it receives credits to sell or use later for compliance.118 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORPolicy Description Global Net-zero and Canada Net-zero Scenarios Current Measures Scenario Oil and gas emissions capA cap on emissions from the upstream oil and gas sector at a pace and scale necessary to achieve Canada’s goal of net- zero by 2050, while allowing the sector to compete in a transitioning global economy.At the time of analysis, the oil and gas emissions cap was announced but was still in development. To model the emissions cap, we developed some simplifying assumptions for modeling purposes. These assumptions have no bearing on what the final policy will include. The cap covers only upstream production sectors (oil sands, conventional oil production, natural gas production and processing). It covers all GHG emissions, including carbon dioxide and methane. The cap requires a minimum emissions reduction of 31% in total from 2005 from these sectors by 2030. We allow two years of flex time in meeting the 2030 target to account for the length of time large-scale infrastructure like carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) takes to develop. The cap declines to a 60% reduction from 2005 by 2040, and net-zero by 2050. In 2050, we allow the sector to achieve net-zero with negative emission offsets from direct air capture (DAC) and/or other net-negative sectors. These are capped at a maximum of 25 megatonnes (MT) to ensure most reductions occur within the sector, while also allowing flexibility for emissions abatement. The cap is met by a sector-specific aggregate cost of carbon rising over time.Not included. Methane regulations for the upstream oil and gas sectorOil and gas facilities are required to reduce their methane emissions either through adoption of new methane control technologies or process change.Facilities must reduce their methane emissions by 40- 45% from 2012 levels by 2025 and 75% by 2030.Facilities must reduce their methane emissions by 40-45% from 2012 levels by 2025.

Tax credit is set at 50% of upfront costs for CCUS. The tax credit for carbon capture is 50% until 2030, 25% from 2031-2040, and 0% onwards.119 CANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORPolicy Description Global Net-zero and Canada Net-zero Scenarios Current Measures Scenario Net-zero accelerator initiative and strategic innovation fundA federal investment of $3 billion over five years for the development and adoption of low-carbon technologies in all industrial sectors.

Clean Electricity RegulationsThe Clean Electricity Regulations would establish an emissions performance standard having an intensity form (i.e., t/ GWh). It would be set at a stringent, near- zero value in line with direct emissions from well-performing, low-emitting generation such as, geothermal or combined cycle natural gas with CCS. Net-zero electricity generation by 2035 through to 2050. Small generating units and those that produce electricity for remote communities are excluded from the regulation. The full regulatory details of the Clean Electricity Regulations are still under development. We follow the details in the Proposed Frame for the Clean Electricity Regulations. Not included.

The ZEV sales target for light-duty vehicles is 20% by 2026, 60% by 2030, and 100% by 2035. Medium- and heavy-duty sales targets are 35% by 2030 and 100% by 2040, where feasible. At the time of analysis, these regulations were still under development. We made the simplifying assumption that 80% of sales met the threshold of “feasible” by 2040, and over 95% by 2050.Not included. Provincial mandates for ZEV sales can be found in Table A.1.2 ZEV incentives Major policies include the iZev subsidy program, the iMHZEV subsidy program, funding for charging network initiatives, and tax write-offs for businesses. Vehicle purchase rebates and assumptions on the build-out of infrastructure needed for charging and refueling ZEVs. Light-duty vehicle GHG emissions standardsNew light-duty vehicles sold in Canada must meet progressively more stringent GHG emissions standards. Incorporates LDV-1 (2011-2016) and LDV-2 (2017-2026) Light-duty vehicle GHG emission standards. In the projection period, new light-duty vehicle fuel economy improves approximately 5% per year to 2026. Heavy-duty vehicle GHG emission standardsNew heavy-duty vehicles sold in Canada must meet progressively more stringent GHG emission standards. Incorporates HDV-1 (2014-2018) and HDV-2 (2021-2027) heavy-duty vehicle GHG emission standards. In the projection period, new heavy-duty vehicle fuel economy improves approximately 2-3% per year to 2027.

Post 2030, we make the simplifying assumption that fuels continue the same rate of decrease (about 1.2g CO2e/MJ per year). This decrease is modeled as an increasing share of renewable fuels and increased renewable natural gas blending, incentivized by the regulation’s credit creation mechanism.Carbon intensity decrease of 12g CO2e/MJ below 2016 levels by 2030.

In this \nanalysis, we begin with the end goal in mind: net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) \nemissions in 2050, and use our models to identify pathways to that point. \nThis\xa0is a different approach compared to past versions of the report where \nwe ran our models without restrictions, giving us insights into what a given \npremise meant for the future.\nIn this report we explore a key question about Canada’s energy future: what \ncould reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 look like? This report is not a \nprediction or a recommendation. It presents net-zero scenarios that can help \nCanadians and policy makers see what a net-zero world could look like, \nvisualize the goal, and make informed\xa0decisions.I am proud to introduce the 2023 edition of \nCanada’s Energy Future—our most ambitious report \nyet, and the Canada Energy Regulator’s (CER) first \nlong-term outlook modeling net-zero by 2050\n1\n2\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORWe know that modeling the pathways to net-zero is a big challenge. Canada’s energy \nsystem is complex and diverse, and how we produce and use energy in net-zero \nworld will be dramatically different than it is today. As you’ll read in this report, there \nare some key components of this dramatically different world:\n• Electricity becomes the cornerstone of the net-zero energy system. Devices \nthat we use every day that use fossil fuels are replaced by technologies that \nuse electricity. By 2050, technologies like electric vehicles and heat pumps \nbecome commonplace.\n• Low-carbon fuels like hydrogen and biofuels enable the energy system’s path \nto net-zero, while carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) helps to \nreduce emissions in many industries and the power generation sector.\n• In a future with ambitious global climate action, global demand for fossil fuels \nfalls steeply, reducing oil and natural gas prices and Canadian production of \nthose commodities.\nUncertainty is inherent in all energy modeling exercises, including EF2023. And I am \nsure not everyone will agree with the assumptions we made, nor our findings. To \naddress uncertainty about the future, we look at three scenarios in EF2023, two of \nwhich explore net-zero. We also introduce five additional “What if” cases that ask \nhow changing some of our assumptions could impact Canada’s pathway to net-zero. \nOur analysis is a means to understand what the future could look like under a certain \npremise and set of assumptions. Relying on just one scenario to understand the \nenergy future implies too much certainty about what could happen.\n3\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIt is important to state that the pathway to net-zero is broader than the technical \nand economic considerations that are the primary focus of EF2023. Policy \nchoices, the regulatory landscape, Canada's journey towards Reconciliation, \nand societal preferences will each play a critical role in Canada’s energy future. \nEF2023 is another step in the CER’s net-zero modeling journey. We continue to \nlearn and look forward to building on this report in the years to come. \nThe CER’s energy information work is a key part of our mandate as an \nindependent regulatory body. We do not develop government policies nor assess \nthe appropriateness of such policies, and the assumptions, narrative, and results \nin EF2023 do not represent an official government position or policy direction. \nCanada’s Energy Future contributes analysis and data to help inform Canada’s \nenergy dialogue for policy makers, the energy industry, and Canadians looking to \nmake informed energy choices.\nAdditional CER work is underway to support Canada’s emission reduction \nambitions, beyond the energy information we provide to Canadians. For example, \nin collaboration with Natural Resources Canada, we are working to develop a \nregulatory framework for renewable energy projects and power lines in Canada’s \noffshore areas, an activity within the CER’s regulatory responsibility. We are also \nworking to make sure we are ready to oversee the transportation of hydrogen \nby pipeline should such a facility be proposed within the CER’s jurisdiction. \nIn addition, we recently updated the GHG emissions and climate change \ninformation that companies need to provide the CER when they are seeking \napproval for a project.Consultation and collaboration have always been key to the success of the \nCanada’s Energy Future series. Our work is better when we hear the perspectives \nof others. Over the past 18 months we have sought advice and feedback from \nexperts within the federal government, particularly Natural Resources Canada \nand Environment and Climate Change Canada. We also sought advice from \nsome of the top energy system modeling experts outside of government, both \nin Canada and internationally. Finally, many experts responded to a technical \ndiscussion paper and survey on our preliminary approach. I would like to thank all \nof those who participated in these activities.\nI would like to close by thanking the dedicated staff at the CER who contributed \nto EF2023. This report is the CER’s latest contribution to the very important public \ndialogue on what the pathways to net-zero might look like. I am excited to share \nthese scenarios with Canadians and look forward to the interesting discussions \nahead as we navigate Canada’s dynamic energy\xa0future.\nGitane De Silva, \nChief Executive Officer \nCanada Energy Regulator4\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORExecutive Summary\nCanada’s Energy Future 2023: Energy Supply and \nDemand Projections to 2050 (EF2023) is the latest \nlong-term energy outlook from the\xa0Canada Energy \nRegulator\xa0(CER). \nThe Canada’s Energy Future\xa0series explores how possible energy futures \nmight unfold for Canadians over the long term. \nEF2023 focuses on the challenge of achieving net-zero greenhouse \ngas (GHG) emissions by 2050. We explore net-zero scenarios to help \nCanadians and policy makers see what a net-zero world could look like, \nvisualize the goal, and make informed decisions. Our scenarios cover all \nenergy commodities and all Canadian provinces and territories. We use \neconomic and energy models to do this analysis.\nThe results in EF2023 are not predictions about the future, nor \nare they policy recommendations . Rather, they are the product of \nscenarios based on a specific premise and set of assumptions. \nRelying on just one scenario to understand the energy outlook implies too \nmuch certainty about what could happen in the future.\n5\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIn EF2023 the end point of our analysis is predetermined: net-zero GHG emissions \nby 2050. We then explore the question, “what might a pathway to that end point look \nlike?” Previous Canada’s Energy Future reports contained scenarios assessing how \nvarying levels of future climate action might affect Canada’s energy future. In those \nreports, we did not limit the outcome of our scenarios based on a particular goal \nor\xa0target. \nEF2023 contains three scenarios: Global Net-zero, Canada Net-zero, \nand\xa0Current\xa0Measures \nIn the Global Net-zero Scenario, we assume Canada achieves net-zero emissions by \n2050. We also assume the rest of the world reduces emissions enough to limit global \nwarming to 1.5 Celsius (°C). In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, Canada also achieves \nnet-zero emissions by 2050, but the rest of the world moves more slowly to reduce \nGHG emissions. \nThe pace of action outside of Canada to reduce GHG emissions is the main \ndifference between the net-zero scenarios in EF2023. As a trading nation, what \nhappens globally affects Canada’s economy and energy system. EF2023 focuses \non Canada, and we do not model global energy markets for the scenarios. Instead, \ninternational factors relevant to the Canadian energy outlook, such as global prices \nfor crude oil and natural gas, and costs for many low-carbon technologies, are inputs \ninto our models. For some of these inputs, we rely on scenarios from the International \nEnergy Agency’s World Energy Outlook 2022.\nThe third scenario, the Current Measures Scenario, assumes limited action in Canada \nto reduce GHG emissions beyond measures in place today and does not require that \nCanada achieve net-zero emissions. In this scenario we also assume limited future \nglobal climate action. Figure ES.1 shows the three scenarios.\n6\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORFigure ES.1: \nIllustration of the scenarios in EF2023\nFive “What if” cases explore uncertainties on the path to net-zero\nIn addition to the three main scenarios in EF2023, you will find five cases in this report that ask: “What if?” There are many uncertainties on the pathway to net-zero. \nThese cases explore some of them by changing some key assumptions in EF2023 and showing what it could mean for Canada’s pathway to net-zero. \n• What if the technologies to enable wide-scale adoption of hydrogen are more or less costly?\n• What if small modular reactor (SMR) technology matures less quickly and is more costly?\n• What if direct air capture (DAC) technology matures more quickly and is less costly?\n• What if carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology does not mature as quickly and is more costly?\n• What if electricity vehicle charging patterns result in higher peak electricity demand?7\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIn our net-zero scenarios, the types of energy \nCanadians use changes dramatically, including \nusing\xa0a lot more electricity.1Key Findings\nThe energy system in 2050 is very different than it is today in both of \nour net-zero scenarios. We project that electricity becomes the most \nimportant end-use energy source while the use of fossil fuels falls \nsignificantly. \nAs shown in Figure ES.2, electricity, hydrogen, and biofuels make up a \nmuch greater share of energy use. By 2050, we project that electricity \nmakes up 41% of total end-use energy consumption in the Global Net-\nzero Scenario, and 39% in the Canada Net-zero Scenario, up from 17% \nin 2021. \nHydrogen and biofuels emerge as important alternatives when \nelectricity may\xa0not be the best option to use, for example in heavy \nfreight transportation, aviation, or certain industrial processes. By 2050, \nhydrogen makes up 12% of the energy mix and biofuels make up another \n13% in the Global Net-zero\xa0Scenario.\nWith greater use of low and non-emitting energy sources, fossil fuel use \ndrops by 65% from 2021 to 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario, and by \n56% in the Canada Net-zero Scenario. Fossil fuels still play an important \npart in the energy system, with much of the fossil fuel in 2050 used at \nindustrial facilities outfitted with carbon capture technology, or for non-\nenergy use like asphalt, lubricants, and petrochemicals.\n8\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIn both net-zero scenarios, electricity use more than \ndoubles from 2021 to 2050, becoming the dominant \nenergy source in the energy system. This is because \nmany energy technologies we use today are steadily \nreplaced with devices that do the same things but \nuse electricity instead, like electric vehicles replacing \nvehicles with internal combustion engines and heat \npumps replacing gas and oil furnaces. Many industries, \nlike iron and steel and manufacturing, also switch to \nusing more electricity. Finally, producing hydrogen \nand capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the \natmosphere further increase electricity use later in the \nprojection period. In many instances, using electricity \nis much more efficient than using fossil fuels, and \ncontributes to energy use decreasing by 22% from \n2021 to 2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario. Figure \nES.3 shows electricity use by sector in the Global Net-\nzero Scenario.\nWhile the types of fuels and technologies that shape \nour energy system change considerably over the next \n27 years, we project little change to the energy services \nCanadians receive in both net-zero scenarios. Energy \nservices are not the energy or technologies we use, \nbut rather the things that energy enables us to do, \nlike heat our homes, travel from place to place, or run \nequipment at a business. In 2050, Canadians continue \nto comfortably heat and cool their homes, get around \nhow they prefer, and have their electricity needs met.Figure ES.2:\nEnd-use energy use, by fuel, all scenarios \nFigure ES.3:\nElectricity use by sector, Global Net-zero Scenario\n9\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORThe electricity system, which decarbonizes by 2035 \nand achieves net-negative emissions thereafter, is the \nbackbone of our net-zero scenarios.2\nIn both net-zero scenarios, the electricity sector transforms to \naccommodate increasing electricity use while also rapidly decarbonizing \nelectricity production. By 2050 in both net-zero scenarios, more than \n99% of electricity is from non- or low-emission technologies. We project \nthat wind, nuclear power, hydro, natural gas with CCUS, bioenergy with \ncarbon capture and storage (BECCS), and solar make up most of the \nnew generation growth over the projection period. Meanwhile, fossil fuel \ngeneration without CCUS declines swiftly in response to increasingly strong \nclimate policies. The sector achieves net-zero emissions by 2035 and \nbecomes net-negative thereafter, a result of using BECCS.\nCanada’s electricity system is regionally diverse, with the generation mix \nlargely determined by the resources available in each province or territory. \nMany regions already have low-emitting electricity systems while others rely \nmore on fossil fuels. This variation means that the transition of the electricity \nsector in each region is unique. Each region capitalizes on their own \nresources and technological expertise to drive the electricity sector towards \nnet-zero.\n10\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORAs shown in Figure ES.4, among all technologies, wind \ncontributes the greatest amount of new generation \nby 2050, increasing ninefold from current levels in the \nGlobal Net-zero Scenario. Wind increases it share of \ngeneration in most provinces, with significant growth in \nAlberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Ontario. \nGeneration from hydroelectricity, currently the largest \nsource of generation in Canada, increases by 26% \nfrom 2021 to 2050, largely in provinces that currently \nhave significant hydroelectric resources already. \nNatural gas-fired generation with CCUS becomes \na key source of power, particularly in Alberta and \nSaskatchewan, where it makes up 13% of generation \nin those provinces by 2050 in the Global Net-zero \nScenario. Nuclear generation, in the form of small \nmodular reactors (SMRs), increases significantly in the \n2040 to 2050 period, with strong growth in Ontario and \ndeployment in many other provinces. Solar generation \nincreases steadily in both net-zero scenarios, making \nup 5% of total generation by 2050.\nWe project that the electricity sector reaches net-zero \nGHG emissions by 2035 in both net-zero scenarios \nand, after that, becomes net-negative due the use of \nBECCS. Negative emissions are achieved by burning \nbiomass to generate power and then capturing and \npermanently storing the CO2 which would otherwise \nbe released naturally when the plants die. By 2050, net \nemissions from the power sector are -36 megatonnes \n(MT) in the Global Net-zero Scenario, as shown in \nFigure ES.5.Figure ES.4: \nChange in electricity generation from 2021 to 2050, by fuel, Global Net-zero Scenario\nFigure ES.5: \nGHG emissions from the electricity sector, by fuel, Global Net-zero Scenario\n11\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOR\nA portfolio of emerging technologies plays a key role \nin our net-zero scenarios, especially to address more \ndifficult-to-reduce emissions.3\nFor some energy uses, switching to electricity is not possible or less \neffective than other low- or non-emitting options. In both net-zero \nscenarios, a portfolio of options plays important supporting roles, \nincluding CCUS, hydrogen, negative emission technologies and nature-\nbased solutions.\nAs shown in Figure ES.6, CCUS is used to capture CO2 emissions from \nthe electricity, heavy industry, and oil and gas sectors in both net-zero \nscenarios. By 2050, nearly 60 MT of CO2 are captured from these sectors \nusing CCUS in the Global Net-zero Scenario, which is about 9% of \nCanada’s total GHG emissions in 2021. In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, \nalmost 80 MT of CO2 are captured by 2050, as there are more emissions \nto be captured from the greater amount of fuel used to produce oil and \nnatural gas. 12\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORA robust hydrogen economy develops in both net-\nzero scenarios. Most hydrogen is used in heavy freight \nvehicles and in industries like chemicals, iron and \nsteel, and petroleum refining. We project hydrogen use \nreaches over 8.5 MT by 2050 in the Global Net-zero \nScenario, or 12% of total energy use. We also assume \nan additional 5 MT of hydrogen exports in the Global \nNet-zero Scenario. Combined, Canada produces \nnearly 14 MT of hydrogen by 2050 in the Global Net-\nzero scenario, and slightly more in the Canada Net-\nzero Scenario. We project hydrogen production from \na variety of technologies including using natural gas \nas a feedstock along with CCUS, electrolysis using \nwater and electricity, and biomass-based processes, \nas shown in Figure ES.7. Biomass-based hydrogen \nproduction, when coupled with CCUS, results in net-\nnegative GHG emissions much like BECCS electricity \ngeneration. \nDespite all sectors significantly reducing emissions, \nseveral sectors, like buildings, heavy industry and oil \nand gas still have positive GHG emissions by 2050 in \nboth net-zero scenarios. Technologies like BECCS and \ndirect air capture, as well as nature-based solutions, \nresult in negative emissions by 2050 in both net-zero \nscenarios, allowing emissions to balance to zero. By \n2050 in the Global Net-zero Scenario, we project -36 \nMT net-negative emissions from the electricity sector, \n-21 MT from hydrogen production using biomass with \nCCUS, and -46 MT from direct air capture technology. \nWe also assume 50 MT of negative emissions from \nland use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF). Figure ES.6: \nGHG emissions captured and permanently stored from fossil fuel combustion and \nindustrial processes, by sector, Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios \nFigure ES.7: \nHydrogen production by technology, Global Net-zero Scenario\n13\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORCanada’s oil and natural gas industry significantly \nreduces its emissions in our net-zero scenarios and, \nwhile production declines, the pace of global climate \naction determines by how much.4\nIn both net-zero scenarios, GHG emissions from producing and \nprocessing oil and natural gas decrease approximately 90% by 2050 \ncompared to 2021. We project that increasingly strong climate policies \nresult in the adoption of CCUS, technological and process improvements \nto dramatically reduce methane emissions, efficiency improvements, \nand reliance on electricity where feasible. Ultimately, falling production in \nresponse to much lower crude oil and natural gas prices in the Global \nNet-zero Scenario is also a key driver of decreasing emissions.\nIn EF2023, the assumptions we make about the price of crude oil and \nnatural gas have the largest impact on our projections for Canadian oil \nand gas production. Those prices are different in each scenario and are \ndriven by the pace of global climate action in the future and the resulting \namount of global demand for oil and natural gas. \nIn the Global Net-zero Scenario, we assume that global prices of oil \nand natural gas fall steeply in response to declining global demand for \nfossil fuels over the coming decades. In this scenario, we project that \nCanadian crude oil production falls to 1.2 million barrels per day (MMb/d) \n(194 thousand cubic metres per day (10³m³/d)) by 2050, 76% lower than \nin 2022 as shown in Figure ES.8. As shown in Figure ES.9, natural gas \nproduction falls by 68% over the same period, reaching 5.5 billion cubic \nfeet per day (Bcf/d) (156 million cubic metres per day (106m³/d)) by 2050.\n14\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIn the Canada Net-zero Scenario, prices fall less than in \nthe Global Net-zero Scenario, a result of less ambitious \nglobal climate action, which results in higher global \ndemand for fossil fuels. We project that oil production \nfalls to 3.9 MMb/d (623 10³m³/d) by 2050, 22% lower \nthan in 2022, and natural gas production falls to \n11.0\xa0Bcf/d (310 106m³/d), 37% lower than in\xa02022. \nIn the Current Measures Scenario, where prices are \nhighest and future climate action is the least ambitious, \ncrude oil and natural gas production are the highest, \nand so are emissions from the sector. Crude oil \nproduction reaches 6.1 MMb/d (964 10³m³/d) by 2050, \n20% higher than in 2022. Production of natural gas \ngrows to 21.5 Bcf/d (607 106m³/d), a 24% increase \nover the projection period. Figure ES.8: \nCrude oil production, all scenarios \nFigure ES.9: \nNatural gas production, all scenarios\n15\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORReaching net-zero in our scenarios is driven by increasingly strong climate policies, in Canada and abroad.5\nBoth the Global and Canada Net-zero scenarios achieve net-zero GHG \nemissions by 2050, a pre-determined outcome given the nature of the \nanalysis. Large emission reductions occur across the economy, with all \nsectors contributing to achieving net-zero. Figure ES.10 shows emissions by \neconomic sector over the projection period in the Global Net-zero Scenario, \nwith positive emissions from some sectors being offset by negative emissions \nin other sectors by 2050. The emission trends are similar in the Canada Net-\nzero Scenario.\nContinued increases in the strength of climate policies in Canada is the key \ndriver of emission reductions over the coming decades in both net-zero \nscenarios. Our modeling shows that the pace of climate action in Canada will \nneed to continue to increase in the 2030 to 2050 period in order to achieve \nnet-zero emissions by 2050. This is in contrast to the Current Measures Scenario, where domestic climate \naction does not increase beyond those measures currently in place today. \nIn that scenario, we project that GHG emissions are just 13% lower in 2050 \nthan they were in 2021. \nAction to reduce emissions globally also plays an important role in our \nprojections and what the paths to net-zero look like in our scenarios. \nDepending on the scenario, we assume that climate policies around the \nworld drive technological innovation and create markets for low-carbon \ntechnologies. This innovation and market development results in our \nassumption of lower costs and better performance for low emission \ntechnologies in the net-zero scenarios. In addition, global climate action also \nfactors into our projections by influencing the prices and exports of energy \nwe produce, which are key drivers of our scenarios.\nFigure ES.10: \nGHG emissions by economic sector, Global Net-zero Scenario16\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORIntroduction\nCanada’s Energy Future 2023: Energy Supply \nand Demand Projections to 2050 (EF2023) is \nthe latest long-term energy outlook from the\xa0 \nCanada Energy Regulator\xa0(CER).\nThe Canada’s Energy Future\xa0series\xa0explores how possible energy futures \nmight unfold for Canadians over the long term. We use economic and \nenergy models to explore how supply and demand for energy could \nevolve. EF2023 is the CER’s first long-term outlook that models scenarios \nwhere Canada reaches net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by \n2050. To model net-zero, we begin with the end goal in mind—net-zero \nGHG emissions in 2050—and use our models to identify pathways to that \npoint. This is a different approach compared to past versions of the report \nwhere we ran our models without restrictions, giving us insights into what \na given premise meant for the future.\n17\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATOREF2023 includes three scenarios, two that reach net-zero by 2050\nEF2023 contains three scenarios. Two of these scenarios explore pathways \nwhere Canada achieves net-zero emissions by 2050. In the Global Net-zero \nScenario, we assume Canada achieves net-zero emissions by 2050. We \nalso assume the rest of the world reduces emissions enough to limit global \nwarming to 1.5 Celsius (°C). In the Canada Net-zero Scenario, Canada also \nachieves net-zero emissions by 2050 but the rest of the world moves more \nslowly to reduce GHG emissions. The third scenario, the Current Measures \nScenario, assumes limited action to reduce GHG emissions beyond measures \nin place today. In this scenario, we do not require our modeling results achieve \nnet-zero GHG emissions in Canada by 2050. We also assume limited future \nglobal climate action.\nFive “What if” cases explore uncertainties on the path to net-zero \nIn addition to the three main scenarios in EF2023, you will find five cases in \nthis report that ask: “What if?” There are many uncertainties on the pathway \nto net-zero. These cases explore some of them by changing some key \nassumptions in EF2023 and showing what it could mean for Canada’s \npathway to net-zero: \n• What if the technologies to enable wide-scale adoption of hydrogen are \nmore or less costly?\n• What if small modular reactor (SMR) technology matures less quickly \nand is more costly?\n• What if direct air capture (DAC) technology matures more quickly and is \nless costly?\n• What if carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology \ndoes not mature as quickly and is more costly?\n• What if electricity vehicle charging patterns result in higher peak \nelectricity demand?\n18\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORWe have been working to improve our analytical tools over the past several years \nto ensure we are up to the challenge of modeling net-zero. In late 2021, the \nHonourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Natural Resources and the Minister \nresponsible for the CER, wrote\xa0a letter\xa0to the Chairperson of the CER’s Board of \nDirectors, Cassie Doyle. The letter requested that the CER undertake scenario \nanalysis consistent with Canada achieving net-zero emissions1 by 2050 as soon \nas possible. Minister Wilkinson requested that the analysis:\n• Include fully modelled scenarios of supply and demand for all energy \ncommodities in Canada.\n• Be consistent with a global context in which the world achieves its Paris \nAccord goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C.\n• Consider relevant uncertainties, including future trends in low-carbon \ntechnology and energy markets.\nIn her\xa0response, Chairperson Doyle welcomed the clarity provided by the \nMinister’s letter and confirmed the next Canada’s Energy Future report will include \nnet-zero scenarios.\nConsultation and collaboration have always been key to the Canada’s Energy \nFuture series. We sought advice and feedback from various experts throughout \nthe process, with the goal of validating our approach, assumptions, and \npreliminary results to ensure EF2023 was technically robust and credible.\nFederal departments, particularly Natural Resources Canada and Environment \nand Climate Change Canada, played an important role in supporting the EF2023 \nanalysis. While the CER is ultimately accountable for the content of EF2023, both \norganizations supported our efforts by contributing substantial technical expertise \nto the analysis. This collaboration ensured we had the best possible information \nabout the latest technologies and climate policy developments. The CER would \nlike to thank both organizations for their steadfast support in this endeavor.\n1 The term “net-zero emissions” refers to a state where human-caused greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are balanced by human-caused removals of GHGs from the atmosphere. GHG emissions include all gases that have heat-trapping \npotential including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and various other gases. The Canadian Energy Regulator Act (CER Act) is the foundation for \nnearly all that we do. Our Strategic Plan aligns with the mandate set out \nin the CER Act and describes our mission as:\nRegulating federal infrastructure to ensure safe and efficient delivery \nof energy to Canada and the world, protecting the environment, \nrecognizing, and respecting the rights of the Indigenous Peoples, \nand\xa0providing timely and relevant energy information and analysis.\nThe CER’s Board of Directors sets the\xa0strategic direction of \nour\xa0organization. The Board of Directors supported the CER taking on \nthe challenge of modeling net-zero and provided strategic direction for \nEF2023 throughout the exercise. \nCore to the governance of our organization is a clear separation between \nthe operational and adjudicative functions of the CER. The CER’s \nenergy information work, which includes EF2023, is separate from the \nadjudicative role of the Commission of the CER.\nThe Commission is responsible for making independent adjudicative \ndecisions and recommendations pursuant to the CER Act and other \nlegislation. The Commission considers each matter before it based on \nthe evidence parties submit in a proceeding. If a party wishes to rely on \nmaterial from EF2023 in a regulatory proceeding before the CER, it may \nsubmit the material, just as it may submit any public document. Under \nthese circumstances, the submitting party in effect adopts the material \nand that party could be required to answer questions pertaining to \nthe\xa0material.19\nCANADA'S ENERGY FUTURE 2023 – CANADA ENERGY REGULATORWe also sought advice from some of the top experts \noutside of government, both in Canada and internationally. \nConversations with experts from organizations like the \nInternational Energy Agency , Canadian Climate Institute, \nand Institut de l’énergie Trottier were instrumental to \nensuring our approach was sound. We deeply appreciate \ntheir advice.\nThe CER would also like to thank the many experts who \nresponded to a technical discussion paper and survey \non our preliminary approach in the Spring of 2022. This \nearly feedback on our project was important in setting the \ndirection of our work. A summary of that engagement is \non our website: Discussion Paper Results – A Summary of \nWhat we Heard.\nWe base the projections in EF2023 on several important \nassumptions, which we outline in the Scenarios and \nAssumptions chapter. The Results chapter describes our \nprojections of the Canadian energy system to 2050 for \neach of the three scenarios. Finally, the Access and Explore \nEnergy Futures Data chapter links to data, tools, and \ninteractive data visualizations that offer further insight into \nEF2023.The Scope of EF2023\nThe projections in EF2023 are based primarily on economic and technical factors. This \nincludes economic activity, relevant policies, technology performance and costs, energy \ncosts, and the characteristics of various energy devices. Our models simulate the decision-\nmaking of households and businesses based on those factors, which differ in each of our \nscenarios. \nThe future of energy in Canada is, however, much broader than the economic and \ntechnical factors driving the projections in EF2023 . Many of these are beyond the \nscope of our analysis. These include evolving societal preferences, regulatory frameworks \nand decisions, socioeconomic and affordability considerations, and the interaction between \nthe energy transition and Canada's journey towards Reconciliation.\nAn example would be the choices our model makes regarding the type of power generating \nfacilities that might be built to meet growing electricity demand in a given year. Our model \nsimulates what technology is likely to be chosen based on the upfront costs of various \noptions, future fuel costs, the impact on grid stability and any relevant policy considerations, \nsuch as carbon pricing.\nGiven our assumptions, the model might suggest that building a wind farm, for example, \nis the optimal outcome.

The Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) is responsible for implementing the government\'s energy policy.\n\nIn conclusion, Switzerland\'s energy policies focus on reducing energy consumption, promoting renewable energies, improving energy efficiency, phasing out nuclear power, and reducing CO2 emissions. The country has set clear targets and implemented various measures to achieve these goals. and Summary of Energy Related Policies in Switzerland:\n\n1. The Swiss government implemented the Stromversorgungsgesetz (StromVG) in 2004, which aimed to open up the Swiss electricity market. It included provisions for the gradual liberalization of the market, starting with larger consumers and eventually extending to households.\n\n2. The StromVG also introduced measures to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency. It set a target for the increase of renewable energy generation by at least 5.4 billion kilowatt-hours by 2030, which is equivalent to around 10% of the current electricity consumption.\n\n3. The Swiss government established EnergieSchweiz as a central platform for raising awareness, providing information, and offering advice on energy efficiency and renewable energy. EnergieSchweiz focuses on three priority areas: building efficiency and renewable energy for households, mobility for households and businesses, and industrial and service sector processes.\n\n4. EnergieSchweiz aims to reduce non-price barriers and transaction costs that hinder energy efficiency measures and the use of renewable energy. It works with private households, businesses, and the public sector to promote behavioral changes and the adoption of energy-efficient technologies.\n\n5. The program emphasizes collaboration with partners, including cantons, cities, municipalities, and other stakeholders. It also supports research and innovation in the energy sector, with a focus on market-ready solutions and the creation of sustainable jobs.\n\n6. EnergieSchweiz is regularly evaluated to ensure its effectiveness and to adapt to changing market dynamics and technological advancements.

GII: ISO 14001 environment/bn PPP$ GDP
ISO 14001 specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that an organization can use to enhance its environmental performance. ISO 14001 is intended for use by an organization that is seeking to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability. ISO 14001 helps an organization to achieve the intended outcomes of its environmental management system, providing value for the environment, the organization itself and interested parties. Consistent with the organization’s environmental policy, the intended outcomes of an environmental management system include enhancement of environmental performance, fulfillment of compliance obligations and achievement of environmental objectives. ISO 14001 is applicable to any organization, regardless of size, type or nature, and applies to the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services that the organization determines it can either control or influence from a life-cycle perspective. ISO 14001 does not state specific environmental performance criteria. It can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve environmental management. Claims of conformity to ISO 14001, however, are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization’s environmental management system and fulfilled without exclusion. The data are reported per billion PPP$ GDP.
